Let me love and not be respected

Let me love and not be respected

NS474

Let me love and not be respected;
Let me serve and not be rewarded;
Let me labor and not be remembered;
Let me suffer and not be regarded.

’Tis the pouring, not the drinking;
’Tis the breaking, not the keeping—
A life suff’ring to seek others’ blessing,
A life loving and true comfort giving.

Not expecting pity or concern,
Not accepting solace or praise;
Even lonely, even forgotten;
Even wordless, even forsaken.

Tears and blood for the righteous crown
my price shall be;
Losing all, my cost for a faithful pilgrim’s life.
’Twas the life, O Lord, that You chose to live
In those days when on earth You walked,
Gladly suff’ring all injuries and loss
So that all might draw near and repose.

I cannot see how much farther I shall go;
Still I press on, knowing there is no return.
Let me follow Your pattern, so perfect and true,
Bearing all gratefully without complaint.

In this time of trial, O my Lord,
I pray that You would wipe my hidden tears away;
Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward;
Let me be others’ blessing all my days.

Thank Him for utterance which touches the deeper, richer and fuller experience of Christ. May the Lord gain many, even those in their youth, that enter in to such hidden and pure service toward Him. In such a realm Christ is the center and everything and we are nothing. Unto Him be glory in the church...

Will you be an Overcome? Will you make this choice? This song lived out is the life of an OVERCOMER. May this be our heartfelt prayer, for Lord, this is how You lived your life when you walked on this earthly sphere. WHAT A PATTERN suffering wrong, no resentment in return.
