God Only Calls the Saints!

All Saints Feast Day

Dedicated to Nick & Colleagues, 
Our True Devoted Heroes!
With Our Sincere Appreciation 
of Your Tremendous Sacrifice!

1. God only calls the saints to bear 
His heavenly cross of love,
for they have true COMPASSION 
that this world’s in great need of.
They teach us how to sacrifice 
ourselves for all mankind.
Their strength to persevere 
is the most difficult to find.

2. They view as very minuscule 
the things that weigh us down.
It is within their VIRTUE that 
we see God’s love abound.
When others give up hope, 
the saints tread lightly on despair.
They have the grace and sense to know 
that God is always there.

3. They easily abandon 
worldly things to God in love,
and equally are showered 
with His blessings from above.
They focus, and do not lose sight 
of every prize and goal.
They’re motivated by God’s STRENGTH, 
which is what makes them whole.

4. They go the extra mile as easily 
as others breathe.
When we might give up hope 
they never fail to believe.
The saints on earth are often 
overlooked, but God can see
their loving SACRIFICE 
enabling others to be free.

5. Grace and courage are their banners 
clothing them in love,
and when their lifetime ends 
they rise to GLORY high above.
Then their greatness does not end 
but shines for all to see
through all the ages from God’s throne 
for all eternity!
Let us hail these saints of God 
who’ve blessed us with their love,
and praise the time when we’ll all live 
together in heaven above!
