Suffered Not Exalted

The Spirit of Christ
the one who suffered
who came to earth a servant
not to be exalted as a king

Guided by his words
the ministry, the prophecy
the words of Isaiah
guiding him on the earth

The words he claimed
in the scripture that he read from
going from his hometown
to spread the master’s love

So we are to follow
the sheep of his flock
led by our master’s word
spoken from within

The Spirit directing us
on this mortal coil
faithful to our master’s steps
doing his loving work
