The Servant Song

Will you let me be your servant,
let me be as Christ to you?
Pray that I may have the grace
to let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey,
we are trav'lers on a road;
we are here to help each other
walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ-light for you
in the night-time of your fear:
I will hold my hand out to you,
speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping;
when you laugh I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
till we've seen this journey through.

Will you let me be your servant,
let me be as Christ to you?
Pray that I may have the grace
to let you be my servant, too.

Richard Gillard.


Greg and Vernie know well the role of servant having served Christ in setting after setting. Now the community of Christ gathers around them, Jenny and John, to be as Christ to them. Recently Vernie has had long nights with little sleep as she attended to Greg's needs. For the last several nights, family has been there to hold the Christ-light in the night-time so all may know rest. Thank you for laughing and weeping with us, sharing the joys and sorrows of this journey. We keep on traveling, walking in the light of Christ, thankful for each companion on the journey.
