Because I'm a lyricist, people sometimes ask if I'm ever surprised or even disappointed with the melody someone writes for one of my lyrics. My answer is that I'm almost always surprised and almost never disappointed. This song is a favorite of mine because I sent the lyric to Russell Mauldin—we needed a song for the Last Supper/Garden of Gethsemane slot in a musical—and when I heard the melody he had written, I don't know how I could've been happier. I love the way it turned out. Thanks, Russell!
The disciples were arguing about who would sit at Jesus's side when He came into His kingdom. I wonder how often they reflected back on that stupid argument after the cross? Anyway, Jesus gave them a vivid demonstration of what it means to be great, what it means to be a leader. Wouldn't we all be blessed if our leaders followed His example. Wouldn't things work out better for each one of us if we learned how to serve the way He did.
