as we
become
more like
Jesus
we become a
servant
stripped of
the world
any
trappings of power,
of our position,
station
putting on
rags
we have joy
in our position
joy in
wearing rags
in becoming
like Jesus
falling to
our knees
anointing
them with oil
washing
their feet
the plates
of the banquet
taking off
power, prestige
any marks
of station
putting on
rags
of a slave,
a servant
living as
Jesus did
living a
life, joyfully,
that is
more in serving
