Don Francisco Blessed
You're blessed to able to see
The depths of your poverty
You're blessed when you sorrow and mourn
For a life that's been stilled
You're blessed when you're gentle and kind
When you love with no guile in your mind
And when you hunger and thirst after righteousness
'Til you've been filled
You're blessed showing mercy to all
Whoever have stumbled to fall
You're blessed to be pure in your heart
Though surrounded by crime
You're blessed bringing peace to both sides
Pouring oil on the waters of pride
You're blessed when they hate you
Simply because you are mine
For the word that I've spoken endures
The kingdom of heaven is yours
The world of your visions and dreams
You will finally see
You'll look at me then face-to-face
Fearless and robed in my grace
Forever my sons and my daughters, joyful and free
You're the salt that keeps evil at bay
The light that sends darkness away
You're the witness that stands at my stead
In the presence of men
So let the Spirit I've given you flow
Let the light that's inside of you show
So you'll glorify God in your deeds
'Til I come back again
Let them see me in your life
'Til I come back again
