Servant by Eight passengers Lyrics
Lord come near to me
From pride help me be free
Lord please help me be
The servant I’m intended to be
I don’t understand why you came to earth
You came to us through the virgin birth
You had nothing to lose yet you gave it all
You never hid from us even in the night fall
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus
Who, although He existed in the form of God
Did not regard equality With God a thing to be grasped
But emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant
And being made in the likeness of men
Being found in appearance as a man
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death
Even death on a cross
The dirt of my crimes building up on my skin
You can see the battle that’s within
You stooped down to below my worth
Cleaned my soul till I shined like rebirth
You didn’t have to come to earth
But you chose to serve us
Chose to wash our feet
You wanted us to look to you and know you understood
As we fight out pride and seek humility
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus
Who, although He existed in the form of God
Did not regard equality With God a thing to be grasped
But emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant
And being made in the likeness of men
Being found in appearance as a man
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death
Even death on a cross
Set an example for us to follow when you ascended above
Knew we lust for pride and power
Showed us joy comes from serving others
Humility doesn’t have to mean we suffer
Philippians 2:5-8
