As I Have Done for You
======================
w&m: Dan Schutte, 2001
Based on John 13-16

[Refrain]
I, your Lord and Master, now become your servant.
I who made the moon and stars will kneel to wash your feet.
This is my commandment: to love as I have loved you.
Kneel to wash each other's feet as I have done for you.

[Verse 1]
All the world will know you are my disciples
by the love that you offer, the kindness you show.
You have heard the voice of God in the words that I have spoken.
You beheld heaven's glory and have seen the face of God.

[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
I must leave you now only for a moment.
I must go to my Father to make you a home.
On the day of my return, I will come to take you with me
to the place I have promised where your joy will have no end.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
I am like a vine, you are like the branches.
If you cling to my teaching you surely will live.
If you make your home in me, I will come to dwell within you.
You can count on my mercy when you ask for what you need.

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
I have called you friends, now no longer servants.
What I told you in secret, the world longs to know.
There can be no greater love than to give your life for others.
As the Father has loved me, so I love you as my own.

[Refrain]

[Verse 5]
You will weep for now while the world rejoices.
But the tears of your sorrow will soon turn to joy.
As a mother cries in childbirth and her pain is turned to gladness,
you will know great rejoicing on the day of my return.

[Refrain]

[Verse 6]
I will give you peace; this will be my blessing.
Though the world churns around you, I leave you my peace.
I have told you all these things that my peace may dwell within you.
Let your faith be unshaken and your hope be ever strong.

[Refrain]
