We found a friend in you
Like what we found in Jesus
A father to run to
When we cannot make it through

We see kindness in your ways
For everyone in every race
We feel your love wherever we may be
For the love of God has no boundaries

Over the mountains and across the seas
You have come to touch our lives
To unite us all in peace

Though we are far you found where we are
To show your love and share your joy
To give us hope Our Dearest Pope

We found a friend in you
Like a brother that we can talk to
When you listen to our cries
We feel the love of Christ

You will be in our hearts
Though we will be apart
And we will always pray for you
Please pray for our land too
Over the mountains and across the seas
You have come to touch our lives
To unite us all in peace

Though we are far you found where we are
To show your love and share your joy
To give us hope Our Dearest Pope
