To All the Bishops I've Ever Had

To all the Bishops I've ever had
I hope to thank you some day
For taking me much by the hand
Along the narrow way

Through you I have discovered talents
And learned about myself
I have been preserved from sin's talons
And the influence of hell

Through you I have found purity
Unto the countenance of the Savior
Whom I have come to know with more surety
As I have been blessed with His spirit and favor

Some day, as our Lord judges
I will comprehend all of this more
How you helped smooth out my rough edges
And strengthened my spiritual core
