Jesus is King

Jesus is king, yet came to be servant,
humble and willing to kneel in the dust;
giving his life as the ultimate service,
bearing our guilt as he suffered for us.

2 Lord, take our life and fill it with service,
make us more humble and willing today.
Thoughts, words and actions, use all for your glory,
help us to follow where Christ leads the way.

3 Jesus our King is full of compassion,
rescues the helpless and hopeless in sin,
heals bitter hearts that are shattered by sorrow,
mourns over those who will not come to him.

4 Father, give us such tender compassion,
burden our hearts for the lost souls around;
lives full of sadness, so hopeless and broken,
help us to show them the love we have found.
