Obedient Servant

Stookey/Hunter

And to the heart of every man,
Every woman, every child in every land
There comes a time to relinquish selfish plans
And sacrifice our pride
Reveal the fear inside
And listen to the whisper of a voice that’s been denied

And when we come into this perfect place
Where perfect truth abides in perfect grace
Though once in darkness we come face to face
And understand the Word
Spoken often; finally heard
And accept the gift that we’ve been given
So that we may give in turn

Obedient servant
What you have done today
I will remember though time itself has passed away
Has passed away

And in the twinkling of an eye
We live our lives and then we die
And only Love will ever show us why
And justify the loss
death’s apparent cost
By filling us with the Spirit of
A life beyond the cross

Obedient servant
What you have done today
I will remember though time itself has passed away
Has passed away
