A Servant's Heart
A Servant's Heart
It was on the road to Jericho
A Samaritan did compassion show
A great example, he did bestow
"A Servant's Heart"
A cart near full, in the check-out line
"Go ahead, - your items are less than mine"
She said to the elderly lady, just behind
"A Servant's Heart"
Because of an injury he was going through
He could not mow the lawn, he knew
A neighbor said: "this I will do"
"A Servant's Heart"
The funeral brought her many tears
A different lifestyle, brought many fears
Words of comfort, came from her peers
"A Servant's Heart"
Of his lofty status, everyone knew
Higher positions, were very few
Yet the down-and-out, he catered to
"A Servant's Heart"
The medical report, was not good
Her unmasked grief, we understood
Compassion he gave, all that he could
"A Servant's Heart"
As I trudge on each coming day
It's vital that I always pray
That in word and deed I would display
"A Servant's Heart"
The most lofty position, I might derive
In no way could it contrive
With - Mark: ten, forty four and five
"A Servant's Heart"
