The Poor Servant of God

He who seeks to keep his wealth shall lose it

But he who loses it for the sake of the Servant of God

Verily verily I say unto you

Shall save it.

Didn't our Lord wash his disciples feet

And teach that the master should wash the Servant?

So who am I,

Humble Servant of our Lord -

Who am I,

Your dedicated Servant -

To say nay when you come forth to wash my feet?

For if foxes have dens

And birds have nests

But the Servant of God has no place to lay his head

How in God’s name shall the gospel be spread?

I am but a poor Servant of God

And if you want to be complete

Go and sell all your possessions

And give it to the poor,

The poor servant of God.

And Thou shall have treasure in heaven.
