The meaning to this song is to be Humble like Jesus, when he was born in lowly circumstances and served humanity with love and kindness without objection despite rejection and his cruel death. GOD is Almighty and powerful. Glory be his name. Forever.
This was one of two solos sung at our wedding ("Household of Faith" by Steve Green, was the other). We thought the words of this song perfectly expressed our primary desire to serve eachother &, ultimately, to "serve" others who were often left unloved, never mind served!. Putting Christ at the center of our marriage has enabled it to last, so far, for 36 years. We've discovered that life is so much more exciting when a Christian couple remembers that "their" home & marriage is nothing without Christ at their centre. We were honoured to serve the "whosoever". Rather than screaming abuse at women seeking abortions, we offered them room & board (given time to think NONE aborted their children & those who couldn't keep them, we adopted). Service men & women (especially new recruits) got good, home-cooked meals, barbecues on the beach & long calls home, for reassurance from their parents. As we were 5 minutes from a teaching hospital, many folk shared our home without sometimes an hour long round-trip to their own homes. I had 4 massive strokes due to an undiagnosed blood condition in my '30's. The first when our latest adopted son was just 8 months old. I'd enjoyed worshipping the Lord in song (including some of Graham's worship songs) but, after each stroke, I was told I'd never sing again. They didn't know the Great Physician 😉. We had discipleship classes for those newly "saved" & baptised. One, specifically for young Hispanic men, was made more memorable the first night one young man attended with his brother. During the prayer time, the elder son began to sob, uncontrollably. We paused to make sure that he was okay. His reply? "I just remembered that, this time a year ago, I had an Uzi instead of a bible on my knee, as I waited with my foot on the gas pedal until my Papi returned (his father was an alcoholic, a drug user & dealer & his son was his "enforcer"). Before our wedding, we each had plans to serve abroad on the mission field. We were away from our home country for quite a few years but the Lord brought some to our door & left us to find the others. All, it goes without saying (or should) that all was done F.O.C. & we never went without as we serve Jehovah Jireh! When you "get serious" with God He takes you at your word. In our home country, where were are, at present, we've been stoned in the streets & hosed down with cold water on the coldest of winter days, for sharing the gospel. Going to church was not a casual pew-warmer affair either. Gunmen entered many churches that weren't of their faith & opened fire. In a tiny church up on a dark hill one Lord's Day evening, the men were shot as they welcomed the gunmen inside & the women were shot as they tried to shield the children with their own bodies. When you, "get serious" with God, He takes you at your word but, take it from us, life is NEVER dull 😊!
Praise God for His spirit in you. Don't give up 1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV [58] Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Amen to this meaning song. Am I proud to say I, serve, and will continue to worship " A Servent King " ! The lyrics are piercing, teaching me to be humble. Thank you !
One of so many great songs from Graham Kendrick that have stood the test of time. Very easy for congregations, groups or soloists to sing unlike so many of the current offerings.
THis is a hymn and not a Bible study. Not all information about Jesus could be stated here. Jesus described here as a Servant King. Why don't you read the bible and see for yourselves His other attributes? No need to debate here...
I've heard of the Suffering Servant the Servant Nation and the Master and Servant but never of this Servant King. Kendricks array of cliches are quite sloppily presented and the voices on this recording are embarrassing trying to sing about them as if they are deep and profound . In one case they misportray the preincarnate Christ as in possession of hands. So where did the helpless Babe come from ? Its almost as confused a song as Brother Sister Let Me Serve and I refuse to engage its mistakes any further.
@@Apriluser Yes but He says His kingdom is not of this world.He is not king and servant together as this song claims wrongly like saying thaf Christ has hands at the beginning of time The song confuses whob Chrisr really is abd promotes another Jesus
//He is not king and servant together as this song claims wrongly // You are spouting a grievous error. The wise men looking for Jesus at His birth asked "Where is He that is born King of the Jews". If I had to guess I would say you are probably a Calvinist with an altogether less worthy conception of our Lord and God.@@rhodiusscrolls3080
This song does not worship the Lord of the Bible. It tells of another Jesus and preaches another gospel from an angel in heaven. In the words of St Paul let them be accursed and let hymns return to the Biblical understanding of who Jesus is instead of the dangerous cliches unmelodically set forth by a man from the fringes of orthodox Christianity.
@@HeiYH314T You dont know Jesus you call him Yeshua. You claim not to know Paul or the abbreviation for Saint. Who are you indeed? I am not going further with people who have not read the Bible. Graham Kendrick has not either.
@@reynaldofajardo1753 Read St Paul to the Galatians..in the last days people wil.believe in anothet Jesus and believe in his false Gospel. It is happening as I speak sex hymns directed at this false Lord and absolutely unholy noise to honour him and not Jesus Christ.

My parents use this song for their wedding day and still are married to this day.

What a fantastic life God gave you, and the grace needed to live like this in obedience to Him. May He continue to bless and strengthen you❤
Praise God for your faith and your example. Thank you for sharing your faith with us all here. Praise God.
Praise God for His spirit in you. Don't give up

Moves me so much. Beautiful listening this morning on Easter Saturday
He is our almighty father

My Servant King

True... led it this morning. Beautiful lyrics and melody
@@russbennett2838
You are absolutely right.
God bless you.
One of my absolute favourite ❤️🙏
A Servant to the death this hymn shows the deep humility of Jesus "Father Forgive them for they know not what they do"
Love it I use it for gospel school assembly
Christian union and myself, performed this awesome song. In school! It's forever rattling around. In my mind...
This is our God. None better.
Love the gentle moving surface of the water - out on to which we are called to walk with Him - Hallelujah!
This is our Lord, the servant king. He calls us now to follow him. Thank you Jesus.
Songs to draw nigh to GOD-ALMIGHTY right-NOW.

The glory be to the one and only Lord JESUS CHRIST

Amen
Yes
My Faith in a nutshell
my mum and dad did this at their wedding

Anyone here in 2021 when ur teacher for re told you to sing this?
Yeah😁
Yes and look at the state of the so called church that is singing this song with Kendrick if you don't believe me.
As usual people think this is awesome.

Jesus says in Matthew, “I have come to serve, not to be served.”

Terrible version..😳😳😳😳
Boring
Graham Kendrick turns out the sickliest cliches and expects us to believe in them as gospel.
This is really going to help with my school since I can't get onto google classroom.🤙👌
So beautiful.
