I am a servant


After 1 Corinthians 9:19-27

I am a servant, a slave
to all, to win them, to win
as many as possible.

I am a Jew, a Greek, a Roman
a teacher, a rabbi, a tentmaker,
a voice in the marketplace,
a rabble-rouser, a troublemaker.
I am all things to all,
to win them
to give them
life
it is all I believe
it is all I desire
it is all I do
to win them
to serve them
