Who Do You Serve?

Who Do You Serve?

I realized that not only have I not posted here in a long time, but I have never posted this song.  Since I wanted to share it with somebody today, let me get it up here.

This song originated when a dear friend, in the midst of a terrible situation, heard God asking him, "Who do you serve?"  As I pondered this, somewhat indignantly, I realized that the encouraging word in the situation lay in considering  the nature of God. I later learned that my friend realized this almost instantaneously.  It took me a little longer, and I tried to structure the song to reflect some aspects of  the trinitarian nature of God as I understand it to be revealed in the Bible.

Who Do You Serve?

Who do you serve?

O tell me who do you serve?

Who is the God that you serve?

I serve the God who created the heavens and earth

He made the hills and the mighty rolling seas.

I serve the God who makes troubles a gateway for hope

And I serve a God who sets the captives free.

I serve the God who hung bleeding and torn on the cross

He took my shame and my guilt and my despair.

I serve the God who keeps calling the broken and lost

And I serve a God who listens to my prayer.

I serve a God who sees me

You know me through and through

Nothing in me is hidden from your gaze.

Take what I am, Transform me

Spirit, I cry to you

I want my life to be a song of praise.

That's who I serve.

O Father, You're who I serve

You are the God that I serve.

That's who I serve.

O Jesus, You're who I serve.

You are the God that I serve.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit

Master, redeemer, friend

Conquering king and healer of my soul

You are the God that I serve

You are the God that I serve.
