Kristene DiMarco's 'St. Francis' is a song of hope and perseverance, addressing a personified Saint Francis with encouragement that love and hope within its borders will be realized. The lyrics draw from Isaiah 40:31, declaring that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength and not be put to shame. The song emphasizes patient waiting for God's deliverance, trusting that darkness will not last and that the sun will shine again. It is a gentle, prayerful anthem for those in seasons of waiting or struggle.

There is a love hidden inside your borders
Just waiting to be free, just waiting to be free
There is a hope hidden inside your borders
Just waiting to be realized, just waiting to be realized
So keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet
You'll see the sun shine again over your city streets
There is a love hidden inside your borders
Just waiting to be free, just waiting to be free
There is a hope hidden inside your borders
Just waiting to be realized, just waiting to be realized
So keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet
You'll see the sun shine again over your city streets
Keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet
Though darkness covers your sleeping love, it won't last
Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength
I know, those who wait upon the Lord will not be put to shame
Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength
I know, I know, those who wait upon the Lord will not be put to shame
And so we wait, so we wait for the sun to shine
And so we wait, so we wait for You to come
Keep hoping Saint Francis, you'll be a free man yet
You'll see the sun shine again over your city streets
