Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics
Priest of Mine: Another Christ
Upper room at night, the Lord and Master said
“when you drink this cup, when you eat this bread…
Do this…follow me, that they may be fed.
I’ll send you as my witnesses when I’m risen from the dead.
First He called each one by name
To much more than they deserved
And He promised to remain
As He gave the gifts to serve…
With an undivided heart
Come to see His grace suffice
Jesus consecrates each priest
For to be another Christ…
Young man’s room at night, Holy Spirit sings
You’ll contradict the world, come set aside all things
The Lord has plans for you, vocation’s heart-phone rings
Your leap begins with “yes,” so hold on to Gabriel’s wing!
For He calls each one by name…
Rectory room at night, wrestling with despair
Feeling so inadequate for people’s sins to bear
The walk in faith precarious, with knees worn out in prayer
Yet Christ rejoices in your heart, it’s His shepherd staff you bear!
Since He called each one by name…
Hospital room at night, breath and pulse decreased
Angels and saints around, Heaven prepares the feast
His mind plays the scenes of life, graces that never ceased
Souls that he touched converge to welcome a holy priest!
For He called each one by name…
