The words of our master
echoing to us
serving our neighbors
washing their feet
Gather these to me
the least and the last
the lost needing saving
why he paid the awful cost
Prepare for our service
our witness of grace
drink of his word
washed in his love
Transformed for service
in the gifts of the Lord
heeding his calling
going out into the world
