Serving
by Barbara Philbrook

Serving you Farther is such an honor for me,
You gave so much and did so for free.

You created salvation and carried out the plan,
You did this despite the sinfulness of man.

You had men write the truths and put them  in your word,
then you made sure the story was heard.

Not one is forced, each must make his own choice,
but you gently call us with your own voice.

It is your will that not one soul be lost to sin,
but that each of us choose to invite you in.

May I be so completely submitted to thee,
that others become desirous to also be free.

May my service be so complete and true,
sharing with the world my joy of knowing you.

Thank you for providing salvation to me,
and for the privilege of serving thee.
