Lifting his cup, the cup of servanthood
taking on his yoke, our cross
lifting him up, carrying his cross with him
taking on his work, his ministry
We are to be the slaves of the master
to spread the message, the invitation
the call to the banquet feast
open to all, all in the streets,
to the ends of the earth
