Servant of Servants

(Luke 17:10, Galatians 5:13, Philippians 2:3-4)

What have I done that I should deserve
Even the One of whom I unworthily serve?
Why should I bemoan when I am the least
Of those who will be at the great wedding feast?
What privilege that is mine to wash the feet
Of saints who I have been honored to meet?
To serve those who willingly spread the good news
To the lost nations of sheep who need renewed?
Men and women of whom the world is not worthy,
Who do not live life as one who is earthly.
The elect of God from all nations and races,
Who have received faith and grace upon graces.
That I should be granted fellowship with them
When I am not worthy to even touch their hem.
The smallest service I give should be my delight,
For I am not worthy to partake of the Light.
For a sinner am I and the worst who is known,
Yet grace and mercy even to me have been shown.
It is truly my honor to serve those who are fervent,
For I am merely a servant of servants.
