Thou Art a Priest Forever With you the morning awakens With the call to rise Not for you But always for others. God handpicked you from a myriad of souls Molded you since you were a babe To prepare you for a journey Not for you But always for others. God blessed you with wisdom To use to give form to his plans And love to carry them out Not for you But always for others. You hold the Body of Christ Embrace his name and proclaim it And a father and counselor you have become Not for you But always for others. Congratulations to all the Jubilarians.
