The song "Far Greater Love" is dedicated to Richie. It translates his martyrdom into an inspiring music. The lyrics was beautifully written by Johnny Go, SJ. The line "The storms of life may shake our ground" is a direct referral to Richie's martyrdom. The music by Manoling Francisco, SJ is powerful and brings hope. Here the lyrics:
Who would have known this would be a history so torn with wars?
The sky seems grayer in our hearts.
It’s grayer in our hearts.
I could have sworn it would end in misery,
But the world is turning still,
And we’re also learning, somewhere
Hidden out there, something’s greater than our hearts
The storms of life may shake our ground,
A greater peace still dwells in our hearts.
The dreams we build may fall apart,
A deeper hope still runs in our hearts.
Fear no harm, we are ruled by a far greater love,
A far greater love
Who would have known life would be such a mystery?
For the world is yearning still and our hearts keep burning.
We dare to believe there’s something greater than our hearts (REFRAIN)
We’re never alone.
All else may go wrong,
Still will there be a love far greater than our hearts
