MusicNotes

We are servants of our great King
our Savior and our Lord
The good news of Jesus to bring
that He might be adored

We serve by God’s strong grace alone
We need it ev’ry day
We seek his strength before his throne
as we kneel down to pray

We serve with real humility
each sister and brother
We give of ourselves willingly
to serve one another

(To the tune of “O God Our Help In Ages Past”)
