He Washed Their Feet - Maundy Thursday

 

He knew the path He was to walk
And that they all would run,
Yet still He washed His pupil’s feet.
For that’s how grace is done.
 
He taught them how to teach and share,
To heal the blind and lame.
He taught them how to call the lost,
All in His Father’s name.
 
He taught them how to stand in faith
Within life’s raging gales,
And how to light the darkest night
With love that never fails.  
 
He was the promised Messiah,
The Lord made flesh on earth,
That even those disdained by all
Can know their soul’s rebirth.
 
The man who walked on the water
And calmed the stormy sea
Bent and washed His pupil’s feet,
And did so lovingly.
 
John 13:3-5
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
