"Then cometh He to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto Him, Lord, dost Thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him.... If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me" (John 13:6-8).
Lord of all eternity
Enthroned on heaven's seat,
How is it, Lord, You say to me,
That You must wash my feet?
Master of the universe,
Should You stoop down to us?
Should it not be the reverse
That we should serve You thus?
Wondrous washing! Humbling thought,
Arresting, Lord, our heart:
That if indeed You wash us not,
With You we have no part.
Wash us, Lord, that we may be
A vessel You will use.
Cleanse our hearts, Lord, thoroughly,
To serve as You will choose.
