7. Teach me to serve thee

I have always loved this prayer, and I am still trying to live it out.

 

Intro: Dm7   Dm6/G  Dm/G  G  C2  C

 

            G7      C                                Dm7/C

Teach me to serve thee  as Thou deservedst,

      Gsus      G                       C

to give and not to count the cost,

G7   C                                     Dm7/C

to fight and not to heed the wound,

      Gsus     G                       C

to toil and not to seek for rest,

      F                                     C2/E

to labour and ask for no reward,

         Dm7                         Dm7/G    C

save that of knowing that I do Thy will.

 

Dm/C  Em/C   Dm.C    C2   Dm/C    Em/C    F/C  ( Repeat)   C at the end
