El Obispo de Digne

This house is your refuge
And you are welcome here
Although we don't have much
We can share it

We offer you our wine
We will give you our bread
Here is a bed for you
Today your sorrows will pass

I arrived hungry and thirsty
And the old man saved me

The cup is worth more than what I earned
Sweating under the sun in the unhappy prison
He trusted me

He trusted me with all his kindness
I pretended to behave well
I swore to live in peace
And as soon as he fell asleep
Then I ran away
With his money
With his faith!

Tell that to the bishop
We'll see who lied
You slept here yesterday
The good bishop invited you
And with great Christian kindness
He had compassion for you
And now you swear that this money is a gift

It is so

You left very early
Without taking the best
I offered you my candlesticks
They are worth much more

You can now set him free
Because he speaks the truth
I thank you for your help
And may God bring you peace

And remember well, brother
Nothing happens without reason
God offers you a great gift
Go and find your forgiveness

By the blood of the righteous
By the death of Jesus
God will pull you out of the pit
Today your soul belongs to God
