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.
