What was Van gogh thinking
When he drew the Starry Night?
Was it a prayer for his own darkness
to be overcome by light?
What was St. Francis thinking
When he gave everything away?
His clothes, his food, his reputation,
to live on a beggar's pay?
Painters, mystics, priests, and poets
In love with thier silent God
It may drive them mad but they show us things
that inspire our weary hearts
What was St. Pio thinking
When he received the marks of Christ?
Five wounds he carried with him
Up until the day he died?
What was Mother Teresa thinking
When she held a dying man?
"This is Jesus that I'm holding.
This poor wretch is the Great I Am"
Painters, mystics, priests, and poets
In love with thier silent God
It may drive them mad but they show us things
that wake up our sleeping hearts
Vincent filled his work up with the light of God
St. Francis changed the world wherever his bare feet trod
Padre Pio saw the pain in every soul and knew what to say
Mother Teresa embraced the endless night and she never ran away
What was Van gogh thinking
When he drew the Starry Night?
Was it a prayer for his own darkness
to be overcome by light?

Your work is amazing--the music, the artwork, the writing--and I am so happy that I was able to buy some CDs a few minutes ago on your web site!
God bless you, and you have my prayers for you and your family. We saw you on EWTN singing on Dana's program the other day, and I wanted to let you know that I really feel as though you are following the Holy Spirit!
