He got up from the supper and took off his outer garment & wrapped a towel around himself. - John 13:4
And the call is to community
In an upstairs room
A parable is just about to come alive
And while they bicker about who's best
With a painful glance He'll silently rise
Their Savior Servant must show them how
Through the will of the water
And the tenderness of the towel
And the call is to community
The imporverished power that sets the soul free
In humility to take the vow
That day after day we must take up
The basin & the towel
In any oridinary place
On any ordinary day
The parable can live again
when one will kneel and one will yeild
Our Savior Servant must show us how
Through the will of the water
And the tenderness of the towel
And the space between ourselves sometime
Is more than the distance between the stars
By the fragile bridge of the servant's bow
We take up the basin & the towel
And the call is to community
The impoverished power that sets the soul free
In humility to take the vow
That day after day we must take up
the basin & the towel
