First place: The Thought - By Gabriel Hester (Cristero)
Once I thought this special thought,
A thought that changed my life.
What I did for that thought
Relieved me all my strife.
There aren't many thoughts
That I've thought since that
That haven't come back to that thought,
The thought I love more than my cat.
Now, this thought that I've thought
Isn't a game or a feast.
Now this thought that I've thought
Is I want to be a priest!
Second place: God's Life - By Tobyn Fignar (Crusader)
As I think of God's Life desired destination
I think of how some take God out of creation;
This is like leaving God out of our Salvation
Or writing poetry with God's inspiration
As I think of how Satan aims at us with his evil darts
It's quite opposite of how God seeks to win hearts
I think of God's amazing grace, He so lovingly imparts
Yet some don't even realize God is where it all starts
I can be as close to him as my hand is to a glove
With nothing between us as He lifts my soul above
This is when I sense the peace from the heavenly dove
As I think of all this, all I see is God's love.
Third Place: Divine Mercy - By Joachim Tsakanikas (Crusader)
Who can sing the bounty,
Or proclaim the wondrous grace,
That moved the Holy Trinity,
To save the human race?
Truth became incarnate,
The Love of God took flesh,
By God's most Holy Spirit,
Of that pure virgin blest.
When we by sin infernal,
Lost all grace that was,
The Son of Life Eternal,
Died on the cross for us.
Death by death conquering,
Life unconquerable arose,
Hope for Heaven restoring,
Despite all life's worst woes.
So who can sing His Mercy,
Before the most Holy Throne,
Who for us with Him to be,
The Face of God has shown?
