[Intro]
Ohhh… Saint John of God…
A home of healing, a place of hope…
Together we serve, together we care…
Bringing light to every life…
[Verse 1]
Many have walked through valleys of pain,
Carried their worries, carried their shame.
Hands at the door, and a name called out,
“Come as you are,” is what we’re about.
Beds made ready, and hearts made strong,
One small mercy can last all day long.
In the quiet rooms where the weary lie,
We hold the hurt and we lift it high.
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night feels long,
We stand and sing it strong.
There is a grace that stays,
There is a better way.
[Chorus]
Saint John of God
(we serve, we care)
Saint John of God
(we’re always there)
Hope in these walls
Hope in these hands
Love that will carry
Love that understands
Saint John of God
(we serve, we care)
Saint John of God
(we’re always there)
Bringing light to every life
Bringing light to every life
[Verse 2]
Tired feet at the edge of dawn,
Heavy eyes when the strength is gone.
A cup of tea, and a gentle word,
The kind of love that can be heard.
From the first hello to the last goodnight,
You walk with dignity through the fight.
Every face is a sacred flame,
Every soul gets called by name.
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the night feels long,
We stand and sing it strong.
There is a grace that stays,
There is a better way.
[Chorus]
Saint John of God
(we serve, we care)
Saint John of God
(we’re always there)
Hope in these walls
Hope in these hands
Love that will carry
Love that understands
Saint John of God
(we serve, we care)
Saint John of God
(we’re always there)
Bringing light to every life
Bringing light to every life
[Bridge]
For the broken and the brave,
For the ones we learn to save,
May our lives become a door,
May our kindness go before.
When the road runs thin and cold,
When the story feels too old,
Let us be the steady flame,
Speaking mercy in Your name.
[Final Chorus]
Saint John of God
(we serve, we care)
Saint John of God
(we’re always there)
Hope in these walls
Hope in these hands
Love that will carry
Love that understands
Saint John of God
(we serve, we care)
Saint John of God
(we’re always there)
Bringing light to every life
Bringing light to every life
[Outro]
Ohhh… Saint John of God…
A home of healing, a place of hope…
Ohhh… Saint John of God…
A home of healing, a place of hope…
Together we serve, together we care…
Bringing light to every life…

Estilo de música
Inspirational contemporary worship anthem with gentle 6/8 sway, hand percussion and piano in the verses; pre-chorus lifts with stacked choir swells and rising snare rolls; chorus opens wide with full drums, organ pads, and clapped gang vocals. Lead vocal stays intimate and close-mic, then blooms into doubled harmonies and choir responses on the hook. Airy bells, reverse cymbal swells, and a soft final lift. Bright, reverent, spacious mix., light, healing
