He ran throughout the streets
To tell where he had been;
“I got to serve the Master!”
He shouted to his friends.
“Today up on the mountain
I gave up my fish and bread;
And Jesus performed a miracle —
Five thousand people were fed!”
He grinned from ear to ear,
And danced around with joy;
“I got to serve the Master!”
Sang the jubilant little boy.

For even the Son of Man did not come
to be served, but to serve, and to give
His life a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45)
