Servant Song

Somewhere along The Way we were introduced to a very pretty song that seemed to fit our journey.  We found that people from all backgrounds and countries and religions around the world seemed to have open, generous hearts while on the Camino.  They had a "what's mine is yours" attitude when a complete stranger had a need...for a bandage, a sleeping aid, or some duct tape. It seemed that everyone (well, almost everyone) wanted others to succeed.  We had a kinship, a brotherhood, a like minded spirit.  It was an amazing thing to experience all along The Way.

 Servant Song was written back in the 1970s by Richard Gaillard from New Zealand.

Will you let me be your servant

Let me be as Christ to you

Pray that I might have the grace

To let you be my servant too

We are pilgrims on the journey

We are brothers on the road

We are here to help each other

Walk the mile and bear the load

I will hold the Christ light for you

In the night time of your fear

I will hold my hand out to you

Speak the peace you long to hear

I will weep when you are seeking

When you laugh, I'll laugh with you

I will share your joy and sorrow

Till we've seen this journey through

When we sing to God in heaven

We shall find such harmony

Born to all we've known together

Of Christ's love and agony
