Serve the Lord



You do not need to thank me now,
Although I did help you.
I serve the Lord some way, somehow
For awe that He is due!

You do not need to pay me back,
I try to see the need
Of life gone wrong or things they lack;
The help that God decreed!

I do not seek the glory or
A handshake, hug, or kiss.
For God I owe so much, much more;
The least to do is this!
