47. Servant of Servants
A servant of servants I would be,
As they serve Jesus of Galilee.
By His Light they live and for Him they would die,
Through Him they return to their Home on high.
“Lord, take me as servant of servants. ”
A servant of servants, I would be blessed,
To labor for those who will never rest,
For their pure commission can never end,
Until they are One with their Lord and Friend.
“Lord, keep those who serve as Thy servants. ”
A servant of servants will one day see,
The power of God which will make men free,
That He who has called them will never give,
Except to the pure who live as He lived.
“Lord, cleanse those who serve Thee as servants. ”
A servant of servants, I seek Christ’s will,
And, through their direction, His tasks fulfill.
For only through service can I have part,
In the saving forgiveness that fills His heart.
“Lord, guide those who serve these as servants. ”
A servant of servants, I strive to share,
Their courage and faith in His lasting care.
Until each disciple becomes like me,
A servant to those called from Galilee.
“Lord, make us all servants of servants."

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."
