Lyrics

LET ME WASH YOUR FEET
By Martin Shrout,
Thursday, March 20, 2008

VERSE #1
As they gathered in the upper room
As they shared a final meal
Jesus longs to teach them lovingly
His final thoughts to seal
So he took a basin and a towel
And knelt before each man
Serving them like a slave
He took their foot in His hand

CHORUS
Let me wash your feet
Let me serve you now
Let me act in love
Let me show you how

Let me wash your feet
Let me serve you now
Let me act in love
Let me show you how

VERSE #2
Peter cried you'll never wash my feet
You'll never bow so low
It's hard to see you stoop like this
It's hard to see you bow
But the Lord looked with loving eyes
Said, "As I do this you'll know"
You'll never be a part of me
'less you love each other so

CHORUS

VERSE #3
Then Peter said, "Lord all of me,
My hands, my head, my feet."
Lord, you know how much I love you
I want to be complete
Peter you are clean
All you need washed is your feet
As your teacher I have shown you how
You'll be blessed by washing feet
