Serene Service

orchidee



Tune: O Waly Waly

('An upper room did our Lord prepare')

John 13 v.1-14 parts

************

Jesus would love disciples to end

To them He would lovingly tend

In humble service He washed their feet

Dried them with towel, then took His seat

 

Though Peter, he said, No, not so, Lord

You shall ne'er wash my feet, his word

Jesus said, If I do wash them not

You have no part in me, no lot

 

After feet washing, Jesus said, Do

You know what I have done to you?

You call me Master and Lord, and true

It be, for so I am to you

 

If I then, your Lord and Master here

Have washed your feet, you ought to share

In washing one another's feet, so

Humble service each other do

            Orchi, this always hits me…the idea that service isn’t optional, it’s defining. The way you present it keeps that clarity intact…simple, but not shallow. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            Even with Peter O Waly Waly wailing and Popeyeus turning the moment into some kind of sacred demonstration gone sideways…towels flying, orders shouted, theology debated mid-glug…the truth of what you wrote doesn’t budge. That says something. 😂🥬🙏

              Thank you T.
              Has Popeye an extra name now - Popeyeus Waly Maximus, etc...?

                A new technique that be added to his name, is it? The Waly Wailing Glug Technique. What is that? WCAT!
