Anointed One

This may be my only chance
To minister to so great a man
You have been conscious of my actions
You are aware of what I've done
What I do, and where I come from
Now I am counted with your great crew
And I give thanks to The Lord
That I am even before you

But what a great misery my talents
Will bring, that you may think
That I am out to rush my calling to be the King

With my talents, my time and my treasure
I serve, I am here for you
To be your bondservant, a slave
Even to tie your shoes, I am here for you
If your spirit is weak and your heart is deferred
Of hope just know I am here for you
And even if you turn against me
I am still here for you

You have the wisdom I need, so bring it

How else will I learn to rule?
If I don't learn from a flawed man?
And the truth is, that a perfect leader
He exists nowhere
The student is never greater than The Master
And much less for those who presume upon grace
It's in the temple that the voice of The Lord
Rings loudest and no, that's not firstly your body
It's the visible church, the fellowship of the saints
Where discipleship and selflessness shines bright
Repent of your pride!

When my anointing is delayed and desponded
I won't blame you, I am here for you
I will serve with patience and gladness
At such a time as this, I am here for you
If the very breath of God gives me right
To cut off your jealous head, I am here for you
I am here for you, even when you don't deserve it
