The Servant Song

What if we all loved others as we love ourselves?
Brother let me be your servant
Let me be as Christ to you
Pictures of Christ as a servant to us.

[@rickmystic]

So the truth is out!! I wrote this song. Not David Haas, not Francis of Assisi but me, Richard Gillard. So glad it keeps going, keeps blessing and moving people.

[@joandudley7114]

The news has been out for quite some time now. I've been singing it in choir for the past 10-15 yes. Love this song. Do you have any others?

[@townhardware4113]

Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@jaredrextanuj9495]

Probably you adapted from Francis of Assissi's writings

[@villsvinmpakasa2688]

Thank you, Richard. This song is still a blessing to my soul. A powerful yet simple commitment song. 🙏🏽 God bless you!

[@janicep1508]

I love this song! I chose it for my mother's funeral. Thank you so much.

[@matthewallenramsay9480]

Over 27 years, as a soldier in Saudi Arabia, I was given a cassette tape with this song. This song was a great comfort to me.

[@GlenJ57]

I care for my sick brother. He is dying of COPD and is in hospice care. He is bedridden. I serve him his meals and I am his servant. I pray with him three times s day. I have set my life aside for him. I love this song.

[@snkahu]

Wow, this is powerful, i see its several months old, is your brother still with us? Im praying for his salvation wherever he maybe. Amen

[@jamusmorrison3073]

Glen Jackson you are a great man! Good things will come your way!

[@sezza271]

God bless you Glen, you will be richly rewarded for the unconditional love you have for your brother!

[@kimduckworth5047]

Glen Jackson. I took care of my Dad as he had cancer. This song reminds me of each thing we do for one another is blessed by God.

[@GlenJ57]

Kim Duckworth my wife and I never dreamed we would of found happiness after the death of our spouses. God did bless me with a beautiful devout wife.

[@jeanshreve9112]

This song was powerful when I was caring for my husband as he was dying. As he is in heaven now, I feel that he weeps when I’m weeping, and laughs when I am laughing. We are connected on our journey that doesn’t end with death. ❤️🙏❤️

[@wileyjb1951]

My friend from New Zealand, Richard Gillard wrote this beautiful song. The Marantha singers took some liberties with the melody, however stayed fairly true to the original. If you google the song you can learn more about the very talented Richard.

[@joandudley7114]

I love this song too but prefer the original lyrics.

[@Dextergec413]

I'm not sure why this song hits me so hard.

[@yasuyopantera3422]

I cry every time I sing it.

[@blackscreenconversations]

Everytime I wake up I sing this song to myself today I decided to search it on KZbin. Thanks for uploading

[@JosephStalin11]

This song is sung by everyone at my Catholic church in California. Grandeur song.

[@Christian_Girl120]

This is a very beautiful song. Being a servant of Jesus Christ is a privilege, and it glorifies him above all. Praise God for music and its ability to reach people for him. Thank you Lord for saving me!!!

[@562Omar]

Well said Amy.

[@brandonswann8527]

[@paulhasser625]

Thank you, Richard Gillard, for listening to the Holy Spirit and writing this song. It is a gift to me, the church, and the world. I’ve been able to share it through many music ministries for almost 50 years.

[@ThePULIGI]

Catholic hymns have incredible meaning fit for all seasons

[@veronicahanson4145]

Redbelly Pirahna The hymns really speak to my heart & spirit! Love, love them!

[@johnbaxter5501]

This is indeed a beautiful hymn. However, Mr. Gillard is a Christian with an Anglican heritage, not Roman Catholic.

[@marlenehansby-stevens1565]

This hymn was played before praying a Novena for a very special priest who was to be ordained as a bishop. Knowing his character this beautiful hymn was just so apt for him and will always remind me of that time 3 years ago.

[@jamesLo25]

The song that inspires me to be like Christ!

[@kellymarkham6775]

Soooo far for me to travel! Help me, Lord! And thank you!

[@proudgram61]

What a beautiful song this truly is. At church today, this song reminded me of how good our God has been to us. Thanks for posting.

[@marywohletz5570]

I love this song, I hear it every day while watching The Divine Chaplet on TV.

[@junevendetti2850]

Beautiful words which mean so much. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

[@aqwial8098]

All I can say is that I love this song and only now after all these years do I truly understand and appreciate it depth.

[@mlsteele7941]

This is the first time I've heard this song! I love it! I am thankful the Lord led me to this!

[@StrangerUK01]

A wonderful hymn, and one that almost moved me to tears the first time I heard it (Which is very uncommon), such a simple and powerful message, so beautifully praised, and the last line is magnificent!

[@karenword4361]

The words of this song are so powerful and so profound!

[@kaserekavutsumba4590]

Thank you a lot for the songs ,may the Lord grant you his gift of praising for the human salvation

[@johnnyhillyalong738]

A humble song with so much compassion. Regardless of your status the song reveals the living Saviour Jesus serving others through your hands, feet, mouth, prayers, etc. It sweetens the LORD's mission in the hearts of true believers. God bless and renew the ministry of missions in our hearts.

[@losttubes]

I'll have your back brother/sister! Let's stay in our journey to Heaven! May God Bless us All!

[@adrienneschafer2093]

This song almost brings tears when I listen to it.

[@nanasimms]

first, we have to Love our selves as Christ loves us, only then we learn to love others. We are here to help each other. But we all get caught up in what life throws at us day by day. We need to learn to care for each other without the thought of anything in return.

[@marcgentilcore6019]

love this song! Such a touching and beautiful song

[@delilashapaka8104]

I get to hear this song for the first time and I love the WORDS. I prefer I AM for the SPIRITUAL GODS Because of the new Revelations of the Bible manipulations. Thank You for the encouraging WORDS.

[@DonSalmonMusic]

It's me, again. And once again, this is to all denominations: If Luke 17:1-10 is your Scripture of the Day, this is a good hymn to compliment it.

[@kaylacraven7104]

This is hands down my favorite song we sing at church. We sung it at our wedding, my suggestion. The pianist loved it and has since added it to his "wedding song list". Isn't this what husbands and wives, all of us, are called to do? I love this song. Beautifully done Richard Gillard. Thank you.

[@francesodonovan2068]

Whilst I love bishops, Cardinals and Our Holy Father - I love to be a servant of the humble priest - he is not famous but in the priest - God's light shines through. The priest is also found in the bishop, Cardinal and Our Holy Father too . In all of them God's light shines through. Thank you dear God for priests - I for my part would be truly lost without them. Amen

[@sandrakozlowski6921]

We must worship, adore and pray to Jesus, not any human beings such as priests,cardinal, bishops or any clergy are. The are no capital S saints. The word saint in God’s Holy Word literally means any believer in God the Father through God the Son Jesus. There are 2 types of Catholicism: 1)the one that worships the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and realizes all mankind is equally liable for their sins and are like filthy rags in God’s eyes,needing Jesus’ sacrifice in able to come to God the Father 2)those who praise men/women and encourage others to hold them up as examples instead of Jesus. I was Roman Catholic for much of my life, thinking I could never be worthy of Jesus’ love. I prayed to Mary, saints etc. Then someone showed me the true love of Jesus by showing me how much they had sinned and that so long as I repented of my sins to God(not a priest) then I was truly forgiven. This friend told me about how her grandmother prayed “Dearest Father in heaven, I come to you through the Sacrifice of Jesus by the Power of the Holy Spirit to ask forgiveness for the sins I’ve committed that I know of, the sins I’ve committed that I was unaware of and for the sins I’ve hidden from my own eyes that are an offense to you also. I pray you open my eyes to my hidden sins but I know I’ll always sin in some way every day(ie laziness,temporary lack of compassion, a sinful feeling feeling or thought)and require your forgiveness🙌. Oh thank you Jesus for purchasing my forgiveness-something we human beings can never do for ourselves bcz we are born into sin and you never were and never did.🙌 🎶Praise The Father, Praise the Son, Paise the Spirit, Three in One

[@mkl62]

It's me, again. And this is to all denominations: If Matthew 23:2-12 and/or Mark 12:38-44 are your Scriptures of the Day, this is a good hymn to compliment it. Another good hymn would be, "We Give Thee but Thine Own," written by William W. How.

[@mafre029]

I am a protestant and we often condemn our Catholic brothers and their saints but I say St. Francis of Assisi was one of the most humble and anointed servants of God in history. We are never to worship or ask him to pray for us (never in scripture does God call us to that we are to pray to Him) but we are to learn from him as he learned from him because he really walked with God : )

[@josephchia8067]

God is eternal and almighty. There are prophets and many people died for God and truth. Jesus Christ died not for lies or nothing. He died for truth and God.

[@ktipuss]

Grace is about opening your heart's door to God's goodness which is freely available always. It's not going up to God's door and asking for handouts (or asking someone else to do it for you). There's a discussion by Sister Wendy (the art critic) on prayer on the BBCs "Songs of Praise". I can't find it on KZbin (yet). If you can find it watch it; it's the best explanation of the nature of prayer I have ever seen. BTW this writer is Catholic

Richard, from Houston, I love this song and would have corrected the attribution if it had not been done. But if some one some day were to eulogize you with "His work was sometimes confused with that of St. Francis of Assisi" well, that would be a pretty nice thing to hear.
