Shoes of Servanthood
For God's kingdom, I wear my servanthood shoes with delight
Being His steward who works by His might.
Victoriously, I tread circumspectly, along life’s race
Wearing service-shoes, optimizing the Saviour’s love and grace.
For the Lord’s glory, I trek upward mountainous faith-venture
Having my servant feet shod* well to prevail over weariness’ torture.
By Christ’s strength, I’m replenished midst fatigue-bouts
Taking off my labor-shoes as I rest from work’s whereabouts.
With the Master’s guidance, I press forward despite night-caused obscurity
Reaching out to others with my shoes of commitment’s dignity.
*Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
