Santo Subito

See there!
See what one man can do
when he walks with God!
See the many faithful
He’s inspired!

They come to honor him,
The millions for this one humble man.
The common, the famous,
The wealthy, the poor,
The young and the old,
From every faith, every race and creed,
They cry, they celebrate,
They clap for this one mortal man.

They remember his love for them,
His teachings of peace,
Of forgiveness,
Of suffering and dying.

A world mourns and rejoices;
They honor this one holy man,
For his close walk with Christ,
For this life well lived.

See what one man can do!

Santo Subito!

Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.

— Pope John Paul II
