On Passover Night
Geoff Stilwell

*** Chorus ***
G              C
 Come let me kneel before you
Am                      D
  Put your feet in the water
G                 C                  Am D
 Let me wash the dust from off your feet
G         C
 Jesus' example showed us
Am                      D
  How we can serve each other
G             C                 Am D
 Come let me humbly serve your need
               C   G  [D] [End on G]
And wash your feet

    Am
On passover night
        G
Jesus wrapped a towel around him
        Am
Poured water into a bowl
        C                     D
And he washed his disciples' feet
      Am
They didn't understand
       G
They knew he was the Son of God
     Am           C                D
But here he was kneeling at their feet.
(Repeat chorus)

     Am
But Peter complained
    G
He said "You must not wash my feet"
     Am
But Jesus replied
  C                        D
"You will have no part in me!"
  Am
"Later you will understand
    G
I come to show another way,
         Am
Who is greater
      C                D
The master or one who serves?"
(Repeat chorus)
