Ray Boltz's song "I've Come To Serve You" reflects on the biblical account of Jesus washing the disciples' feet in the upper room. The lyrics contrast the disciples' arguments about greatness with Jesus' humble act of service, emphasizing that true followers of Christ are called to serve one another. The song challenges listeners to embody the same selfless love and humility that Jesus demonstrated, reminding them that knowing the Father's love should lead to serving others. It is a gentle, reflective piece that encourages a servant's heart and obedience to Christ's example.

The disciples were assembled
In the upper room
They didn't know that Jesus
Would be leaving very soon
They talked about His kingdom
As they readied for the feast
Who would be the greatest
And who would be the least
One said, If there's a greatest
I hope I'm the one
Others talked of miracles
That they had seen or done
No one noticed Jesus
As He rose up from His seat
Until He knelt before them
And began to wash their feet
I've come to serve you
I've come to serve you
And if you know my Father's love
The way you say you do
Then you will serve each other too
I wish I could have been there
To see the look on each man's face
A single act of service
Puts us all back in out place
For though we're called to minister
And do miracles in His name
Remember when you're sent by Him
The reason that He came
I've come to serve you
I've come to serve you
And if you know my Father's love
The way you say you do
Then you will serve each other too
Yes, you, should serve each other too
