Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics
Priest of Mine: Your Priestly Heart
Your priestly heart, O Lord
Whispered into mine this call
Live to sacrifice and serve
Loving not just one, but all
You give consolation to my frustration
Through cross and crown and kiss
Daily life prostration in celebration
Holy feast, blending struggle and bliss
Your priestly heart, my Christ
Loves me now when I’m poor and weak
Die to self and rise again
Grace and mercy still mold the meek
You give this vocation illumination
For healing wounded souls
Daily consecration and manifestation
Of your will; that the shattered be whole
Your priestly heart, I love
Here abiding in sacrament
Come and stay my soul, be still
In His presence so radiant
Holy palpitation, with veneration
Through my silence, my groaning and song
Replace consternation with a peace sensation
To your heart my adoration belongs…
Your priestly heart, O Lord
Your priestly heart, my Christ,
Your priestly heart, I love…you priestly heart!
