Servants

Flying back from Hawaii 8 years ago now, I was given a book with blank pages.  I was instructed to write something for the new bride and groom.  It was to be a book of wisdom and advice for this new couple to help them on their way.  I could only think of one thing to write.  One of my favorite in-the-pew songs is called the Servant Song.  Listen here if you'd like.
I could not think of anything that would be more relevant to their new lives together.  Actually, I can hardly think of anything more relevant for all of our lives.

Happy Anniversary!!

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 travelers on the 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 nighttime 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
