Servant Song

This morning I went to daily Mass, I wanted to go as Thursdays are always the all school Mass, and I haven't been since the early spring to that. I just love going when the entire church is filled with all the students. It really is a beautiful site. But my favorite thing is listening to all the kids sing. For the all school Mass, there is always music. And I love all their voices together. I get goose bumps sometimes listening to them, maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I just really love the little things. ;) Well, today the songs they chose were great! But one of them brought me to tears. It's one of my favorites, as I remember singing it when I was younger back home, at Mass when the young people's choir would sing. But today... the words touched my heart in another way, and brought me to tears, running down my cheeks. Thankfully I was in the last row! :)  Here are the words. They are so perfect as we all wonder at times what our purpose in life is? Or what God wants of us? Or which direction to turn next? We just need to trust, have faith, keep Jesus in the center. Seek the kingdom of God first, and everything else will fall into place.

Servant Song

What do you want of me, Lord? 

Where do you want me to serve you? 

Where can I sing your praises? I am your song.  

Jesus, Jesus, you are the Lord. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.

I hear you call my name, Lord, and I am moved within me.  

Your Spirit stirs my deepest self. 

Sing your songs in me. 

Jesus, Jesus, you are my Lord. Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.

Above, below, and around me, before, behind, and all through me, 

your Spirit burns deep within me. 

Fire my life with your love. 

Jesus, Jesus, be the warmth of my heart.  Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.

You are the light in my darkness.  

You are my strength when I'm weary. 

You give me sight when I'm blinded.  Come, see for me.  

Jesus, Jesus, you are my Light.  Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.

I am your song and servant, singing your praise like Mary. 

Surrendered to your Spirit, "Let it be done to me." 

Jesus, Jesus, "Let it be done to me."  Jesus, Jesus, you are the way.
