I wonder…
You know lord, how I serve you
With great emotional favors
In the lime light
You know how eagerly I speak for you,
At a women’s club
You know how I effervesce when I promote
A fellowship group.
You know my genuine enthusiasm
At a bible study.
But how would I react, I wonder
If you pointed to a basin of water and asked me to wash the calloused feet
Of a bent and wrinkled old woman
Day after day
Month after month
In a room where nobody saw
And nobody knew.
