"Tell My Disciples That I Love Them"

Our Lord The Most High
Loves You

He blesses you for all the work you do
He created you from the beginning
To remain with Him forever singing
your faith He always looks upon
smiling in response to your song
He protects you from the evil one
soldiers for Him Œtil the battle be won

Our Lord The Most High
Loves You

He sends forth His Spirit to create anew
His disciples who obey His commands
who teach all they meet Œcross seas and lands
baptizing in The Name Of The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
proclaiming His real presence in the Sacred Host
preaching His infinite Mercy and Goodness
His Truth, Way and Life no less 

Our Lord The Most High
Loves You

He saw how your hearts grew and grew
the trials and tribulations you did bear
to glorify His Holy Name everywhere
the many crosses you did willingly carry
when the hour arrived you did not tarry
no, you sang out boldly again and again
in joy when they persecuted you then

Our Lord The Most High
Loves You

You deny the false, accepting only what's True
opening your very heart and soul
to be raked across the burning coal
obedient through torturous death and dying
only to pine smiling after heaven sighing
uniting your body and soul to His above
in eternal, requited, perfect filial love
