Acts of Service, pt. 1

Indifference to recognition A fruit that comes from humility That asks for no commission Nothing in return, no hidden fees For simple acts that help you heal That give you time to help you feel That you are loved in a way that's real A care so selfless, it seems surreal Spread thin from all the times that I said yes I long to see you function at your best And I will serve even at my own expense And I'll stay though the sun now dips down west The sacrifice of my time The rearrangement of priorities The sense of self left behind The joy that comes when your mind's at ease Internal conflict from saying no So I do what I can so you feel known The longing to lighten your load Do what I can so you can grow Spread thin from all the times that I said yes I long to see you function at your best And I will serve even at my own expense And I'll stay though the sun now dips down west Like a tree and its leaves that lend its shade Like a melting candle maintains its flame And I find my purpose serving everyday Woah My love is shown in sacrificial ways And I'm spread thin from all the times that I said yes But I'll still serve even at my own expense
