Mark 10:35-45
I tell you now,
So you may believe,
When terrible things happen,
And all of you flee.
Blind rulers will condemn,
Non-believers mock and kill,
Spittle, scourging, suffering,
Ending on a hill.
Sons of thunder,
Not seeing as He sees,
For places of power,
Enter their pleas.
For places of power,
Enter their pleas.
Can you drink the cup,
Of the dregs of suffering?
Or be baptized in your blood,
Make your life an offering?
Or be baptized in your blood,
Make your life an offering?
Fill the chalice to the brim,
That baptism we wish to see.
We are able, we are able,
We are able, we are able,
Cry the sons of Zebedee.
What you ask you know not,
Nor is it mine to give,
The seating in the Kingdom
Shall be based on this..
The seating in the Kingdom
Shall be based on this..
To be the master,
Become the slave.
Lose all that you have,
In order to save.
Lose all that you have,
In order to save.
The greatest, the least,
Power to those who serve.
Lordship to the servant,
A whisper makes the mountain move.
The humble lifted high,
The proud brought low.
Seek to serve the least,
And in my love you will grow.
