I wrote a song this morning for a 98 Episcopalian priest, whose birthday we are celebrating today. He is an incredible man, who has lived an incredible life. Someday I'll have to tell you about him.
If I ever dare, maybe I'll even sing it for you sometime ;^)
In the mean time, here are the lyrics to the song:
Man of God
Son of Love
You've travelled far
on paths unseen
on roads unknown
in this world that's not your home
But on this journey through a strange land
you found you were not alone
For every step through every foreign place
was guided by a Stranger
who somehow you'd always known...
Man of God
Son of Love
You've suffered loss
Like everyone
Like no one else
and you keep moving on
Yet through the sorrow and the sadness
you found you were not alone
For every tear you shed was not in vain
but collected by the Stranger who somehow you'd always known...
And now your Father is no Stranger
You've drawn nigh unto Him
And Has has drawn nigh unto you
Man of God
Son of Love
This world is not your home
Jesus Christ, Son of God
Has called you as His own
