Hindsight by Everybodyduck
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU KNEELED TO WASH OUR FEET THAT NIGHT
THOUGH I RESISTED, YOU EXPLAINED IT HAD TO BE
AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE SHOULD SERVE EACH OTHER
BUT AS YOU GENTLY CLEANSED MY FEET WHAT DID YOU SEE?
IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WE AL SAT THERE TOGETHER
AND EACH WORD YOU SAID STIRRED FIRE IN MY SOUL
VOWING I'D BE YOUR MOST FAITHFUL MAN, COME SUN OR STORMY
WEATHER
BUT AS YOU SMILED AT ME THEN YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN
AS YOU GENTLY POURED THE WATER
YOU HEARD ME SAY I NEVER KNEW YOU
AS YOU WIPED AWAY THE DUST
YOU SAW ME HIDE BENEATH A LIE
AS YOU ANOINTED ME WITH OIL
YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN I WOULDN'T STAY
YOU WASHED MY FEET, SO I COULD WALK AWAY
LOOKING BACK I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW YOU DID IT
I COULD NOT HAVE SHOWN SUCH LOVE IF I HAD KNOWN
THAT THIS MAN WHOSE FEET I WASHED WOULD SOON DENY THAT HE HAD
KNOWN ME
STILL YOU HUMBLY SERVED YOUR SERVANT, NOW THAT LOVE CUTS TO
THE BONE
BECAUSE I PROMISED THAT I NEVER WOULD DENY YOU
I SAID I'D RATHER DIE THAN CURSE YOUR NAME
