Power

Acts 8:14-25

Yearning for power, equal to theirs
  for his own glory and recognition
Wanting to impart something from God
  for his own, to be his own
This is not how God works though
  not for your own building up
For the building up of others, a servant
  to give freely, without expecting
Thanks, or more from the offering
  it is a gift freely given, freely
Bestowed, one which cannot be harnessed
  just because you want it, oh you can
Try, but you will not receive the gifts
  which come from serving without
Fail to those who are forgotten, lost
  afraid, on the sides, waiting
Waiting for the recognition they are
  a part of the family of God
