As I have done for you

Listen here

I, your Lord and Master,

now become your servant.

I who made the moon and stars

will kneel to wash your feet.

This is my commandment:

to love as I have loved you.

Kneel to wash each other’s feet

as I have done for you.

All the world will know you are my disciples

by the love that you offer, the kindness you show.

You have heard the voice of God

in the words that I have spoken.

You beheld heaven’s glory

and have seen the face of God.

I must leave now only for a moment.

I must go to my Father to make you a home.

On the day of my return

I will come to take you with me

to the place I have promised

where your joy will have no end.
