I Came To Serve

(Verse 1)
A towel round His waist, and love in His eyes
A basin in His hands, they watched Him in surprise
As He knelt to wash their feet
like the humblest of men
Then gently He explained
what they could not understand

(Chorus 1)
I came to serve, I came to give
I'll die to show men how to live
If I your Lord and Master came
To be a servant; Go and do the same

(Verse 2)
They spoke among themselves
who the greatest would be
He took a little child, and set him on His knee
He said, to be the first, you must be servant of all
And ministering to needs, is my true disciples call

(Repeat Chorus 1)
I came to serve, I came to give
I'll die to show men how to live
If I your Lord and Master came
To be a servant; Go and do the same

(Verse 3)
He took upon Himself, the form of a man
And in obedience, fulfilled His Fathera019s plan
He humbly walked this earth, as a servant to the lost
And gave Himself away, when He died upon the cross

(Chorus 2)
He came to serve, He came to give
He died to show men how to live
If He our Lord and Master came
To be a servant we must do the same

(Repeat Chorus 1)
I came to serve, I came to give
I'll die to show men how to live
If I your Lord and Master came
To be a servant; Go and do the same
