"...whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
(Matthew 20:25-28 KJV)

    Lyrics:

    He came as a servant, this King among men
    To lift and to heal by the power in his hand
    He labored unceasingly knowing our need
    And he calls us to follow in spirit and deed

    Chorus:
    The greatest among us taught us to love
    To serve one another as he willingly served
    And if I would follow him such is my call
    For the greatest among us was the servant of all

    The greatest among us nourished the weak
    Brought hope to the hopeless, and joy to the meek
    The sufferer never beseeched him in vain
    May I follow the Master in kindness unfeigned

    (Repeat chorus)

    Jesus, to whom all dominion is giv'n
    Humbled himself in the service of man
    And he calls through the ages, “Come, follow me,”
    I will follow the Master where e’er he may lead

    (Repeat chorus)
