According to Chad, we should take care to give thanks to God when things are going smoothly, lest we become proud, arrogant and rebellious. Chad gives example after example of biblical heroes who ended up in trouble because of pride and success. Chris Lizotte sings "Lord Have Mercy".

Lyrics to Song of Moses (Part 2) verses 15-33

With the sun on my face, the wind at my back,

I feel like I’m soaring above the earth

But don’t let me fall away, don’t let me fall away

Don’t let me forget, the God who gave me birth

Chorus

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy

On me

Did you say, “I will turn away; and hide my face”

Did you say, “this generation provokes my rage”

But don’t let me fall away, don’t let me fall away

Don’t let me forget, the God of heaven and earth

Chorus

Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy

On me

The mountain is on fire

And it burns to the depths of hell

The forest turned to a wasteland

‘Cause pride put me under it’s spell

If everything falls apart

Or if it all goes my way

Draw me close to your wounded side

Have mercy when I pray
