Tune: St Michael
('The Lord is risen indeed')
John 13 v.1-17 parts
********
Disciples took their seat
Jesus did wash their feet
Their Lord and Master service gave
To those He came to save
Help us, Lord, to follow
And more of you to know
To wash one another's feet, so
In humble service grow
What word, what action, can
We share with fellow man* (*mankind)
Today? May we one thing at least
Share, and so love increased
For we are servants, we
Not above our Lord be
But we His people here on earth
Praise Him, give Him His worth
It needed at that time
And that stage of life's rhyme
That Jesus would wash feet dusty
His example we see

Another nice hymn Orchi. The washing of the feet definitely demonstrates humility and there is nothing more desired in a leader than humility. We could use a little today in this world.
Thank you SB. Erm, how does one make humble pie? Some folk need a large slice of it - yes?
You are most welcome Orchi. Never made any but I heard that you take humility and debone it then squeeze all the pride out of it. Seethe it until the anger is gone then cover it with a crust and bake it.
A touching hymn-poem, Orchi...faithful and grounded. Then again, if Popeye had been there, he’d have slurped a whole ton of canned spinach and tried to polish everyone’s shoes with his forearms—ah-gah-gah-gah-glug-glug! With what polish, one asks? Don't answer that! Gross...and oddly holy in its own way. 🤮😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. I'm gonna be sick if I see that spinach-spewing emoji once more. lol.
I might well ask what’s a foot .. but let’s not stand on ceremony .. the answer is clearly 12 inches .. joking aside, I think this is pretty cool .. Neville 😎👍
Thank you N. lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
