Human Power

To lead people or to manipulate them to keep the own sweet power surely is in every area a tightrope-walk. In the matters of church one can not be careful enough, because the gospel never ever uses human power. It was the serpent, who said: “You can be like God.” (1. Mo 3:1-6; Joh 8: 7-8; Joh. 13:14-15).

Proudly standing high for Jesus
For the honest and the good
You sacrificed your life in mission
To rescue souls with holy food
To rescue souls with holy food

Bready-eyed and high in spirit
You shared your table with them all
Blew their minds with smartly talking
Replied objections with pious wall
Replied objections with pious wall

Hush now- hush now
Hush now- hush now
He washed the feet of servants
Filled their wings with air to fly
Hush now- hush now
With grace of freedom up into high
With grace of freedom up into high

Stood great in front and true in preaching
watched their lips and searched their mind
heard them chuckling, scanned their feelings
rocked them meekly into double-bind
rocked them meekly into double-bind

Saw Jesus standing in the corner
His eyes of love were filled with tears
His face turned off from hollow preaching
His glare chopped love from fears
His glare chopped love from fears

Hush now- hush now
He washed the feet of servants
Filled their wings with air to fly
Hush now- hush now
With grace of freedom up into high
With grace of freedom up into high

While black wings of manly power
quickly faded from the place
Peace took the assembly over
The king came radiant with grace
The king came radiant with grace

He knelt down, washed feet of servants
He cleaned them with a gentle rinse
turning servants into brothers
who speak: Lord, please do forgive!
who speak: Lord, please do forgive!

Hush now- hush now
He washed the feet of servants
Filled their wings with air to fly
Hush now- hush now
With grace of freedom up into high
With grace of freedom up into high
