Twila Paris's song 'Humility' is a prayer asking God to cultivate genuine humility in the believer's life. The lyrics express a desire to be authentic and transparent, free from pride and pretense, so that others see Christ's character reflected in the singer. The repeated plea to 'open up my life' and 'open up my eyes' emphasizes a longing for God to reveal any hidden faults and to enable a life that truly demonstrates His humility. The song encourages believers to let go of vanity and embrace a life that points to God rather than self.

Humility, that is what You ask of me
So, dear Lord, please let me be
Known for what I am
Reality, letting others see in me
Only what is really me
Stripped of all the sham
Open up my life, let them look inside
Open up my eyes, help me realize
That all they need to see in me is Your humility
O now I see, I was never meant to be
Such a slave to vanity, caught up in my pride
Transparency, letting Your life shine through me
Keeping my heart clear and clean, not a thing to hide
Open up my life, let them look inside
Open up my eyes, help me realize
That all they need to see in me is Your humility
Open up my life, let them look inside
Open up my eyes, help me realize
That all they need to see in me is Your humility
