Retreatants, retreat inspire song
The following simple verses were written by one of our SCB Men of Manresa during the July 19-22 retreat at Manresa. Originally inspired by one of our long-time members, it was later expanded upon following the example of one of our newer members and the teachings of spiritual exercises of the retreat.
Coincidentally, it can be sung to the tune of John Prine's folk song "Paradise" (AKA "Muhlenburg County").Only for You Lord
How can a person who's two times my age
Show me the way Lord, show me the way
Through their worship and prayers and the service they do
Only for you Lord, only for You
How can a person who's just half my age
Show me the way Lord, show me the way
Through their worship and prayers and the service they do
Only for you Lord, only for You
How can a person who's precisely my age
Show me the way Lord, show me the way
Through my worship and prayers and the service I do
Only for You Lord, only for You
