Jesus Loves Me (19)

 

SONG STUDY (24): FROM HEAVEN YOU CAME 

(THE SERVANT KING)        

Graham Kendrick

From heaven You came, helpless babe,  Entered our world, Your glory veiled;

Not to be served but to serve, And give Your life that we might live.                                            

 Chorus

This is our God, the Servant King, He calls us now to follow Him,

And give our lives as a daily offering Of worship to the Servant King.                                                                  

There in the garden of tears, My heavy load He chose to bear;

His heart with sorrow was torn, “Yet not my will but Yours,” He said.  

Chorus                                    

Come see His hands and His feet, The scars that speak of sacrifice,

Hands that flung stars into space To cruel nails surrendered.        

Chorus  

So let us learn how to serve, And in our lives enthrone Him;

Each other’s needs to prefer, For it is Christ we’re serving.

Chorus 

The Servant King (Graham Kendrick singing)
