Song Lyrics ~ In the Shadows, Grace Awakens
(Verse 1)
The morning breaks with a quiet sigh,
Sharp winds whisper as Francis draws nigh.
A beggar kneels, his hands outstretched,
Life's weary lines upon his face etched.
The bread, still warm, meets trembling palms,
A sacred moment, a soothing balm.
In his eyes, the world takes flight,
Divinity glimmers in the morning light.
(Chorus)
See them, the weary, in shadows confined,
Reach past the surface, the truth you will find.
A spark of grace in the faces forlorn,
The invisible seen, and hope reborn.
(Verse 2)
The city hums, its chaos alive,
Crowds rush onward, ceaseless, they strive.
Pope Francis moves through the noise and haste,
A man’s worn coat with streets embraced.
Smoke and sweat, the air hangs still,
Yet love cuts through the world’s harsh will.
“No words,” it whispers, “just hands that heal,
You matter, you’re valued, this moment is real.”
(Chorus)
See them, the weary, in shadows confined,
Reach past the surface, the truth you will find.
A spark of grace in the faces forlorn,
The invisible seen, and hope reborn.
(Bridge)
Walk the streets where stories lie untold,
Through hands of warmth, through hearts that unfold.
Francis calls, through acts of care,
Francis whispers, “Can you see Him there?”
Through the chaos, Pope Francis strides,
The weight of love fills the divide.
Two lives apart, one shared decree,
To serve the unseen in their dignity.
(Verse 3)
The faces weathered, the weary gazes,
Saint Francis kneels as his faith amazes.
Through trembling hands, divinity springs,
For Christ resides in the smallest things.
Pope Francis speaks to the world’s despair,
A Church for the poor, justice in prayer.
Systemic change, relentless grace,
Humanity’s worth in a tender embrace.
(Chorus)
See them, the weary, in shadows confined,
Reach past the surface, the truth you will find.
A spark of grace in the faces forlorn,
The invisible seen, and hope reborn.
(Outro)
Two paths entwined, their call is clear,
To break down the barriers, to draw others near.
In giving, we live; in seeing, we grow,
In love and action, divinity shows.
