THE SERVING SON

Many have learnt service

Some have learnt sonship

Some understand neither

But precious few live both

I will serve and be approved, says one

I'm accepted, I need not serve, says another

But hear the serving son's heart

Accepted in the firstborn, I am privileged to serve

The servant will receive his rewards

The son will enjoy his Father's love

But see the serving son's end

By Love's justice, He inherits and rules the earth

The servant, he expects wages

The son, he comes boldly and takes

The serving son, he simply trusts

All that the Father has is mine.
