Then the mother of James and John
Came forward at their bequest,
She knelt down before Jesus
To make known her request.
Came forward at their bequest,
She knelt down before Jesus
To make known her request.
Jesus looked down upon her,
Asked, “What is your desire?”
She said, “To serve in your kingdom
My two sons do aspire.”
Asked, “What is your desire?”
She said, “To serve in your kingdom
My two sons do aspire.”
“Command one to stand at your right,
For both I want the best,
The other put at your left hand,
This, then is my request.”
For both I want the best,
The other put at your left hand,
This, then is my request.”
