“Servant Song” by Sister Donna Marie McGargill, OSM, is a contemporary Catholic/Christian song that I learned as a teenager at my local church back in San Francisco, California. It never fails to touch my heart, since it is a song about following the Lord, wherever and however He leads. The melody is simple, yet soaring, the lyrics straightforward and unabashedly sincere.
