Servant's Song
(Melody: Morning Star, Lutheran Service Book # 400,
Brightest and Best of the Stars of the Morning)
Come and behold Him, our Lord and
our Savior,
Down on His knees with their feet
in His hands,
Why has our God, our Salvation,
our Creator
Humbled Himself, in the servant's
place now stand?
Could His example be for our
learning?
Could He be showing the way that
we should live?
Are we like Judas with eyes and
hearts now turning
To earthly treasures and from the
life He gives?
Short is the meal that they share
in celebration,
Soon swords and clubs will meet
Him in the night,
Then those He loves will without
hesitation
Shatter their promise and for their
lives take flight.
Grant that I'd choose to stand
with You Jesus,
To be a servant, to walk the way
You've shown,
To live a life that You and the
Father pleases,
Know Your example and make it my
own.
Where I have failed to live as You
have called me,
All of the ways I’ve betrayed You
and Your will,
Let me find peace in the grace
that You give freely,
Pardon and joy in Your precious Holy
Meal.
Come and behold Him, the God of all
Creation,
Present in ways that we cannot comprehend,
Eat of the body pierced for your salvation
And drink the blood that for you He
has shed.
(c) Rev. Mark A. Wood
