Love Bids Me Serve

Love Bids Me Serve

Love bids me serve

No slave of duty shall I be

Though slave indeed for my king

It is his love that has called me

Called not just to serve but called me first to Him

Called me to abide

And only then to truly serve

Yes, love indeed has called

And to Him have I answered

It is his passion that runs thru my veins

The zeal for his house has consumed me

I leap and run, about my duty with resolve

Not for the approval of man

Nor for the mere call of duty

No. It is love that bid me serve

 And for loves sake have I come.

I follow after Him who first followed after me

And in his love have I found LIFE.
