1. Successions of places and times
May not change the spirit you had
When you first began
Going to places meeting people living
Love and bringing God
This has been your life, Monsignor.
REFRAIN:
For you are a man of God
You willingly gave
You lovingly served
You forgot about yourself
Others may also forget you
But they remember God
Because they came to know you.
2. It's not how you look now that matters
For you have a face that passed so many demanding years
It's how you made your life
And how you shared it with others
That's the reason today we celebrate, Monsignor.
