Don Francisco - Servant of All lyrics

Zebedee's sons both came bowin' down low They tried to tell Jesus how they thought it should go "When you reign in your kingdom in power and might Command that we'll sit on your left and your right." But Jesus replied, "You just don't understand What are you asking; oh, what a demand And it isn't for me to decide or declare Who'll take these places my Father's prepared." And the other disciples got a little irate At the two who'd finagled to be someone great So Jesus explained to make sure it was clear The Kingdom of God isn't like it is here The Kingdom of God isn't like it is here This world has its rulers that they dare not defy When their leaders say 'Jump', people ask them 'How high?' But that ambition to lead, put it out of your head The way's not to climb; it's by kneeling instead The way's not to climb; it's by kneeling instead For I came from a throne that you cannot conceive To live as a servant to all who believe How is it you think you can follow me, then And aim for a life as a leader of men? That ambition to lead isn't something from God It's a dream of the world; it's a cheat and a fraud It will harden your heart 'til you're deaf to the call That the greatest in heaven is the servant of all The greatest in heaven is the servant of all So don't be called 'teacher'; there's only the one Don't be called 'father'; he's on the Throne Don't be called 'leader'; it's my place alone I am your Shepherd, and you are my own The ambition to lead isn't something from God It's a dream of the world; it's a cheat and a fraud It will harden your heart 'til you're deaf to the call That the greatest in heaven is the servant of all The greatest in heaven is the servant of all The greatest in heaven is the servant of all
