Tell the World of His Love

Nasa ibaba ang theme song ng sinalihan kong World Youth Day dito sa Maynila noong 1995. Kapag naririnig ko ito ngayon sa coverage namin ng pagpanaw ng Santo Papa, naalala ko noong makisiksik ako sa napakaraming tao para makita ang pagdaan ng kanyang Pope mobile.

Ibang karanasan ang makita si Pope John Paul II nang personal, kahit sa malayuan. Totoo ang sinasabi ng napakaraming tao: tila may liwanag na nagmumula sa kanya. Overwhelming ang kanyang presence. Para ka ring pinagpala.

TELL THE WORLD OF HIS LOVE
(Manila 1995)

For God so loved the world
He gave us Him only Son
Jesus Christ our Savior
His most precious one.
He has sent us His message of love
and sends those who hear
To bring the message to everyone
in a voice loud and clear.

Let us tell the world of His love,
the greatest love the world has known
Search the world for those who have walked
astray and lead them home.
Fill the world’s darkest corners
with His fight from up above
Walk every step, every mile, every road
and tell the world
Tell the world of His love.

For God so loved the world
He gave us Him only Son
Jesus Christ our Savior
His most precious one.
He has sent us His message of love
and sends those who hear
To bring the message to everyone
in a voice loud and clear.

Let us tell the world of His love,
the greatest love the world has known
Search the world for those who have walked
astray and lead them home.
Fill the world’s darkest corners
with His fight from up above
Walk every step, every mile, every road
and tell the world
Tell the world of His love.

The greatest love the world has known
Walk every step, every mile, every road
And tell the world (Tell the world of His love)
Tell the world (Tell the world of His love)
Tell the world of His love. Tell the world of His love.

Nakuha ko ang lyrics ng “Tell the World of His Love” sa Vatican website.
