Thursdays Before the Throne: Serving

The Servant King Click here to play

By Graham Kendrick © 1983 Kingsway's Thankyou Music.

From heaven You came, helpless babe,

Entered our world, Your glory veiled;

Not to be served but to serve,

And give Your life that we might live.

There in the garden of tears,

My heavy load He chose to bear;

His heart with sorrow was torn,

'Yet not My will But Yours,' He said.

Come see His hands And His feet,

The scars that speak of sacrifice;

Hands that flung stars into space

To cruel nails surrendered.

So let us learn How to serve,

And in our lives Enthrone Him;

Each other's needs to prefer,

For it is Christ We're serving.

Refrain:
This is our God, the Servant King,

He calls us now to follow Him,

To bring our lives as a daily offering

Of worship to the Servant King.
