Story behind the song
As I read the story of Christ washing His disciples feet and His teachings about servanthood and greatness, this song simply flowed out from me.
It was almost like I could hear Christ saying the words, "I came to serve" and "go and do the same." It's a powerful message about how we are to live.
Lyrics
I CAME TO SERVE (D)
1.A towel round His waist, and love in His eyes
A basin in His hands, they watched Him in surprise
As He knelt to wash their feet, like the humblest of men
Then gently He explained, what they could not understand
Cho. I came to serve, I came to give; Ia019ll die to show men how to live
If I your Lord and Master came
To be a servant; Go and do the same
2.They spoke among themselves, who the greatest would be
He took a little child, and set him on His knee
He said, to be the first, you must be servant of all
And ministering to needs, is my true disciples call
3.He took upon Himself, the form of a man
And in obedience, fulfilled His Fathera019s plan
He humbly walked this earth, as a servant to the lost
And gave Himself away, when He died upon the cross
Cho 2 He came to serve, He came to give
He died to show men how to live
If He our Lord and Master came
To be a servant
We must do the same
