The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Priest

(Verse 1)

There was a boy with a quiet dream,

Kneeling down where the candles gleam.

He prayed to serve, to give his life,

To heal the broken, end the strife.

(Pre-Chorus)

But heaven whispered soft and true,

“I have a different path for you.”

(Chorus)

The boy who wanted to be a priest,

Found his calling in the least.

God had heard the words he prayed,

But sent him love in another way.

Not with robes or sacred vow,

But a mission here and now…

The boy who wanted to be a priest,

Became the answer that he’d seek.

(Verse 2)

He thought the altar was his place,

To lift the bread, to bless with grace.

But God had plans beyond the walls,

A greater world that still He calls.

(Pre-Chorus)

Through every tear, through every song,

He learned his heart was priest all along.

(Chorus)

The boy who wanted to be a priest,

Found his calling in the least.

God had heard the words he prayed,

But sent him love in another way.

Not with robes or sacred vow,

But a mission here and now…

The boy who wanted to be a priest,

Became the answer that he’d seek.

(Bridge)

Sometimes prayers don’t come as planned,

But they still rest in God’s own hand.

He makes a way, He lights the start,

And writes His will upon the heart.

(Chorus)

The boy who wanted to be a priest,

Found his calling in the least.

God had heard the words he prayed,

But sent him love in another way.

(Outro)

And every soul he lifts in grace,

Shows God had sent him to his place.

The boy who wanted to be a priest,

Became the blessing that we need.
