Power (Vol 4 No 53)
James and John were so ambitious
Seeking the ‘best’;
They requested special status,
Wanting the ‘best’;
They appealed for prize selection;
Jesus gave them strong correction;
Pointed in a new direction
To seek the ‘best’.
“In the world there are oppressors,
Ruling with might;
You should not be like aggressors
Ruling in might;
To be great and first among you
Be a slave and last to value
Any status that could lead to
Ruling with might.”
When we seek some extra power
Let us beware;
Self fulfilment can turn sour;
Let us beware;
When we crush all opposition,
If we covet rank, position,
When absorbed in our ambition
We should beware.
Let us be the humble servant -
Living in love;
In our serving be persistent –
Living in love;
We would shun all domination;
Give to others affirmation;
Foster reconciliation;
Living in love.
