I Wonder...

You know Lord

how I serve you 

with emotional fervor

in the limelight.

You know how eagerly

I speak for you

at the woman's club.

Or how I effervesce

when I promote a

fellowship group.

You know my enthusiasm

at bible study or choir.

But, how would I react,

I wonder...

if you pointed to a basin of water

and asked me to wash

the calloused, old feet

of a bent and wrinkled woman

day after day

month after month.

In a room where nobody saw

and nobody knew?
