Jesus as a servant came

by royowen

Jesus as a servant came

Lord Jesus as a servant came,
to die for man and take sin's blame.
He did not judge a single man,
but He fulfilled redemption's plan.

The only way that man is great,
is be the least...a servant's fate.
But pride will cause a fall from grace
as Satan fell from favour's place

So if you truly loved the Lord,
you'd join with Him in one accord.
So please don't think that you're alright
we were once sinners in God's sight.

Now some may think I'm always up,
from Jesus' table always sup.
But I confess it is not true,
I sometimes swim in sorrow's stew,
Yet those long nights I know I'll rise,
in mercy's dawn, joy is faith's prize.

Lamentations 3:22-23
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ESV

Psalm 30:5
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
