Unselfish Service

Unselfish service
Goes uncompensated
For a higher purpose
Heavenly designated

-----------------------

Whosoever will lose his life
For the sake of the Savior
Clearly is being Christ-like
Unto righteous endeavor

For those who deny themselves
To follow the Master
Lay down their selfish selves
To serve where it matters

----------------------------

We act and serve
For what we give
Which then preserves
Our lives to live

For those who strive
And serve well others
Live longer lives
Enjoying what life offers
