Jesus, Greatest at the Table

Author: Stephen P. Starke Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Family of God; Jesus Christ Life of; Love God for Us; Love for each other; Ministry and Service; Suffering of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, greatest at the table, the almighty Son of Man, laid aside his outer clothing, poured some water in a pan; as the twelve lay hushed in silence, he the servant's task began. 2 Marvel how their Lord and Teacher gently taught them not to vie, as he humbly knelt before them, dusty feet to wash and dry; by his tender touch expressing true compassion from on high. 3 Jesus took the role of servant when upon that gruesome span, for all human sin he suffered as a vile and loathsome man; on the cross poured out like water to fulfill the Father's plan. 4 Can we fathom such deep mercy? Do we see what God has done? Who can grasp this great reversal: love that gives his only Son? Christ, the sinless for the sinners, for the many dies the One. 5 Jesus gave to his disciples a commandment that was new: "Show my love to one another, do as I have done for you; all the world will know you love me as you love each other too." Scripture: John 3:34-35 Used With Tune: JULION

This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend. Scripture: John 3:14-21 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
