How a Kenosis Leader builds and uses friendship networks

In my earlier post this morning, I posed the questions:

How would a Kenosis Leader develop internal and external friendship networks? Toward what ends and by what means would a Kenosis Leader employ these friendship networks?

I went to church and during worship we sang a song that, to me, begins to answer these questions. Here's the text.

The Servant Song

Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you?
Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.

We are pilgrims on a journey; we are trav'lers on the road.
We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ light for you in the nighttime of your fear.
I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping; when you laugh, I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow till we've seen this journey through.

Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you?
Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.
