Jesus spoke of John the Baptist

Saying, what did you go out to see'

A man dressed in fine clothes'

No, those who live in luxury

Are in king's palaces



But again Jesus asked them all

What did you go out to see'

A prophet' Yes, and more

He is the messenger who came before

To prepare the way for Me



And John was full of truth

Unlike the Pharisees

He was a servant of God

Though he may not have looked clean



The rulers of this world use authority

But not so with you

For you are servants of Jesus

Whoever would be great must be a slave

And lower himself

For Jesus' sake



The true servant of Jesus Christ

Speaks the Word without requiring pay

And knows that all they have

Belongs to God and so they give away

To strengthen all the weak



Jesus calls to everyone

'Come, follow me'

And following the Lord

Can mean losing everything



The rulers of this world use authority

But not so with you

For you are servants of Jesus

Whoever would be great must be a slave

And lead with mercy and love

In Jesus' name



If the master has left you in charge

Of feeding the other servants

Than be sure that you serve them and do as He said

Don't be fooled into thinking that you can abuse them

And take what is not yours

Cuz the master will come at an hour when you do not expect



The servant who does right will be given more

And the one who serves himself gets no reward

From everyone who has been given much

Much will be demanded



Jesus died upon the cross

A humble lamb though He was God

He made himself nothing

The servant of us all so he could bring

Salvation to the world



So as servants of Christ

We can never do enough

As with grateful love we serve

Cuz Jesus first loved us



The rulers of this world use authority

But not so with you

For you are servants of Jesus

Whoever would be great must be a slave

The servant of all

Cuz Jesus showed the way



Just as Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve

And to give his life as a ransom for the earth

His kingdom is not of this world
