Kings In Palaces
by Adam's Road

Album: Enemy Of The Cross

Jesus spoke of John the Baptist
Saying, what did you go out to see?
A man dressed in fine clothes?
No, those who live in luxury
Are in king's palaces (Luke 7:25)

But again Jesus asked them all
What did you go out to see?
A prophet? Yes, and more
He prepared the way for Jesus Christ (Luke 7:26-27)
The only true King (Rev. 19:16)

And John was full of truth
Unlike the Pharisees
He was a servant of God
Though he may not have looked clean (Matt. 3:4)

The rulers of this world use authority
But not so with you
For you are servants of Jesus
Whoever would be great must be a slave (Matt. 20:25-27, 23:11-12)
And lower himself
For Jesus' sake

The true servant of Jesus Christ
Speaks the Word without requiring pay (1 Cor. 9:18)
And knows that all they have
Belongs to God and so they give away (1 Chron. 29:11, 14)
To strengthen all the weak (Heb. 12:12)

Jesus calls to everyone
“Come, follow me” (Luke 18:22)
And following the Lord
Can mean losing earthly things (Luke 14:33; John 12:25-26)

The rulers of this world use authority
But not so with you
For you are servants of Jesus
Whoever would be great must be a slave (Matt. 20:25-27, 23:11-12)
And lower himself
For Jesus' sake

If the master has left you in charge
Of feeding the other servants
Than be sure that you serve them and do as He said
Don't be fooled into thinking that you can abuse them
And take what is not yours
Cuz the master will come at an hour when you do not expect (Luke 12:42-46)

The servant who does right will be given more
And the one who serves himself gets no reward
From everyone who has been given much
Much will be demanded (Luke 12:48)

Jesus died upon the cross
A humble lamb though He was God
He made himself nothing
The servant of us all so He could bring
Salvation to the world (Phil. 2:5-8)

So as servants of Christ
We can never do enough
As with grateful love we serve
‘Cause Jesus first loved us (1 John 4:19)

The rulers of this world use authority
But not so with you
For you are servants of Jesus
Whoever would be great must be a slave (Matt. 20:25-27, 23:11-12)
The servant of all
Cuz Jesus showed the way

Just as Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve
And to give His life as a ransom for the earth (Matt. 20:28)
His kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36)
