The greatest among you must be your servant. – Mt 23:11
Rabbi, your lessons are hard
who will follow you
when you teach
buy high and sell low
who will follow you
when professing belief
is not enough
who will follow you
when one must practice
what one preaches
who will follow you
when the kingdom of God
comes through the cross
Rabbi, your lessons are not
those of this world
if my Master serves me
whom should i serve
speak Lord
your servant is
listening
“The greatest among you must be your servant.” – Mt 23:11
Lord Jesus,
you gave me eyes to see
let me not look for the admiration of others
you gave me ears to hear
let me not listen for the applause of the crowd
you gave me a mouth to speak
let me not sing praises to false gods
you gave me hands to serve
let me not help only those who can pay
you gave me a heart to love
let me not love only those who love me
grant me, Lord, the heart of a servant
let me taste the cup which you offer
never let me be separated from you
again
