Son of man, Christ Jesus
1 Son of Man, Christ Jesus,
what have you to say
to us who would follow
in your steps today?
2 'Foxes make a shelter,
birds construct a nest
yet there is no pillow
for my head to rest.
3 Happy are God's poor ones!
Happy are the weak!
With them I am standing;
for them I must speak
4 Pour a cup of water
for each one, and see
in that simple action
you are helping me.'
5 Son of Man, Christ Jesus:
if we do these things
we shall share your glory,
we shall reign as kings.
