Servant

Servant You healed the lame – made the speechless sing - Brought light into blind eyes; Held a child within your arms Then woke her from death’s sleep; Walked the waters of the stormy seas Bid the wind and waves be calm You came as love – a servant to all. You feed the multitude upon the hill, Gave them bread to eat their fill, Taught their voices how to pray – Our Father we say still; Braved the darkness of the empty tomb Arose on the third day You came as love – a servant to all. You did not scorn the leper’s plea - Heard the crippled ones cry out; Welcomed back a woman at a well Then forgave a thief; Shouted at the tomb of your dear friend Called him back to life You came as love – a servant to all. You - the servant of God’s lowly ones - Walked the dusty roads of Galilee; Took the children to your side Held them on your knee And said the Kingdom – like one of these – Faith brighter than the sun You came as love – a servant to all. You drove the darkness from souls possessed - Turned water into wine; Changed the hearts of all you touched And said "I bring new life;" These miracles that you performed on earth Signs of your great love for us You came as love – a servant to all.
