Servant King lyrics

From heaven you came helpless babe

Entered our world, your glory veiled

Not to be served, but to serve

And give your life, that we might live

He calls us now to follow him

To bring our lives as daily offering

Of worship to the Servant King



There in the garden of tears

My heavy load, he chose to bear

His heart with sorrow was torn

Yet not my will but yours he said





This is our God, the Servant King

He calls us now to follow him

To bring our lives as daily offering

Of worship to the Servant King





Come see his hands and his feet

The scars that speak of sacrifice

Hands that flung stars into space

To cruel nails surrendered





This is our God, the Servant King

He calls us now to follow him

To bring our lives as daily offering

Of worship to the Servant King





So let us learn how to serve

And in our lives enthrone him

Each others needs to prefer

For it is Christ we're serving



This is our God, the Servant King

He calls us now to follow him

To bring our lives as daily offering

Of worship to the Servant King
