"Giving, Asking Nothing In Return"

"The Levites entered the ministry at 30 and retired at 50,

with no inheritance."

(Pastor Kenneth Phillips)

The Levites, ministering with the whole heart, body, soul and

mind, an offering of love for life

It's like the surrendered Ministers of today; their lives are given

in beauty, like the sweet melody of a fife

Selfless and continual; they minister night and day, with the

many offerings of prayers and fastings often

They stand in the stead for the flock, serving at the altar, sending 

 up incense, from the unctions they've gotten

Shepherds rarely sleep, for they watch upon the wall, and sing

their psalms to the Lord, and King of Kings

He called them and chose them to do His bidding in the earth;

they do it with fervor, and the Lord 's heart sings

Who can the Lord find, as He searches to and fro; are there

any with a heart like His, in mortal earth?

Oh, Yes, is His reply; His chosen and anointed carry the burden

for the lost, and they long to give birth

It's a Spiritual birth of water and Spirit, for all of those who will

come; the Lord Jesus beckons them on

He died to set men free and wash away their sins; He longs to

 see them with joy, peace, and their troubles gone

This same heart of God lives in His chosen Shepherds, and so

beautiful are their ever traveling feet 

From Nation to Nation they go, in search of desperate souls to

touch with power, and make them complete

It's a lonely life of periods of deep groans, seasons of joy, and

dimensions of His glory, to enter and behold

Only the ones who sit at His feet, weep in His altar, and watch in

the shadows, know the cost of the sheepfold

Thank you, Lord, for the shepherds you've appointed; we won't

take them for granted; they are golden vessels 

They're the closest thing in earth that we have, to compare with

Your created Hosts of heavenly angels

Bless them, O Lord, every one, we pray, and grant us Your

provision to heap upon them; for this we yearn

They are the levites of today, for your Church always; they do

 it with all joy; "Giving, Asking Nothing In Return."
