Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics

Priest of Mine: Priest of Mine

Never forget, my brother, you’re a priest of mine
From the crush of the vineyard, by my grace I make new wine
As you come into my presence, “other Christ” you’re my delight.
Rest before this mystery divine…that you’re a priest of mine!

From the day I ordained you, even long before your birth
My own heart conceived your priesthood, none can comprehend its worth
Come before me with your worries, trust my will, say “Let it be.”
Share with me the joys and burdens of your mind
’cause you’re a priest of mine!

Don’t despair, my brother, I’m the only perfect one
Hold the hand of my Mother, keep your eyes upon her Son
Come to me, I know your pain. I will make your losses gain.
Be a “fool for the gospel” and you’ll find
That you’re a priest of mine!

Let my presence fill your days, in your soul you’ll sing my name
Take up crosses for my glory, seek humility not fame
Let my mother wrap her mantle like a vestment on your heart…
I’ll make your struggle and your sacrifice a sign
That you’re a priest of mine!

Let my mother wrap her mantle like a vestment on your heart
I’ll make your struggle and your sacrifice a sign
that you’re a priest of mine!
