John 20 v.20-28
********
James and John, desired highest place
Counted selves worthy of grace
Let us sit, Lord, at your left, right
We shall be a glorious sight
\'Can you drink my cup?\' \'tis suffering
Jesus asked, did question bring
Yes they said, \'tis enough, we shall
Gain this high place, shall prevail
But I cannot promise to you
This high place, though shall ensue
That you shall drink of my cup, though
In accord with Father so
For Jesus said, only Father
Knows these places, and rather
You should not seek greatness world\'s way
But be humble, watch and pray
For to gain true greatness, need be
That you give in service, see
And minister, loving, caring
Lowliness shall honour bring
For the Lord, even He came sure
To minister to us, for
To give His life as a ransom
For many, so [God\'s] kingdom come
