I’ve probably posted this one before, The Servant Song, by
Richard Gillard of New Zealand, a personal favorite of mine:
Lyrics:
Will you let me be your servant
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I might have the grace
To let you be my servant too
We are pilgrims on the journey
We are brothers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load
I will hold the Christ light for you
In the night time of your fear
I will hold my hand out to you
Speak the the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping
When you laugh, I’ll laugh with you
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony
Born to all we’ve known together
Of Christ’s love and agony

First stanza, fourth line is incorrect.
He says ..”.to let YOU be my servant too.”
We are asking to be eachothers servants so first he prays..” Will you let me be your sevant?”….then he prays for the grace for the humility to allow others to serve him…that is what we are as Christians as Church we are eachothers servants.
Will you let me be your servant?
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I might have the grace to
Let YOU be MY servant too.
