Pope Francis
From a window way up high
Looks out upon the world assembled there
And out beyond the ancient hills of Rome
To where a weary world full of care
Might look and listen every now and then
As Bergoglio reaches out with kind mien
To tell the world and each of us in turn
The Spirit of the Lord would like to burn
Within a hungry heart so oft forlorn
Enkindling a fire that keeps us warm
And this encounter need not wait a day
Each day’s the day the day of life is now
How many chances does the Spirit give!
Speak today if you would want to live
Come Holy Spirit welcome to my soul
Befriend my lonely heart and make me whole
I, too, like Francis
Look out on the world
The Internet a window way up high
From this high place we bless or we can curse
Do so much good or make things so much worse
The Spirit of the Lord is working still
From every place from every window sill
Look out upon your world your papal scene
Bless your world let evidence be seen
The Spirit of the Lord at work in you
Let us be going we have work to do
