Gaining Greatness

orchidee



Tune: Pastor Pastorum

('Faithful Shepherd, lead me')

Mark 10 v.44-45

*******

Whosoever of you

Will be great, 'tis true

Needs to be a servant

Choose this, give consent

 

Following the Shepherd

And His words be heard

That He came not to be

Served, but to serve, see

 

To give His life here, for

It a ransom sure

For many, the price paid

For sins, life down laid

 

So lead us to follow

And true greatness know

It be through lowliness

As you, Lord, do show
