I want to be a priest
Because He wants me one,
But I know I’m the least
Among those He has won.
I want to be a priest
Where it’s almost a crime,
To be there in their midst
I don’t care about the time.
I want to be a priest
And give to Him my best,
And through the Eucharist
Extinguish the world’s quest.
I want to be a priest
In my words and my deeds,
I want to die a priest
Preaching and sowing seeds.
I want to be a priest
And also be broken,
As the Bread for our feast
Until I’m all eaten.
I want to be a priest
Trusting in the Lord’s Grace,
Till the heavenly feast
Where I shall see His face.
