As I stand by the altar
of the Holy Lord God
I lit the candle of faith
and left it on the mantle of my mind
I made three signs of my faith in the Lord
the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit...all three in one
I knelt before the Master
Whose grace and mercy is multitude and more
Praise God who is good, merciful and graceful...

Whose name can endure
whose love is as pure
as water runs forth
unto the river that leads
to a vast pool of relief
for those who belief
Christ Jesus the Lord...
cast thy faith in Him and thou shalt indeed live...

In whose name shall fear flee
and sufficiency
fill thy spirit with sweet reverie
of love and rejoicing
life and spirit and soul healing
no other than Jesus
whose mercy endures
forever and ever
with the Father and Spirit
all three are all one
faith increase within me
a weak soul of mere flesh and bones

Bind me in Thy words
that my work be Thy psalm
that Thy words be poured forth from both hands
that I carry the words Thou saith to me
Love one another as I have loved thee
Thy love is the river that runs through me
I live because Thou art living in me
Thou art my bearings when I wander astray
Thou art my confidence when my fear gives way
Thou art the love which my spirit forever convey
in words of praises and glory to Thee alone...

As I stand before the altar of the Lord God almighty
my soul recite a familiar prayer...
my soul knows it well..for in it fear dispels
and light shines forth from His holy radiance
I am in darkness if Thy withdraw from my being
stay with me loving Jesus and grow within me

Thou art the seed whom the Father hath planted
within my heart God..

My faith dwindles in the midst of the night
like the candle which burns shivers in threat of the breeze that passes by
it shakes and then shivers
for a loathsome effigy-the sum of my fear of separating from Thee

Then a warm loving hand had bound itself unto me
Mother Mary the Mother of God came to me...
she smiled like summer and was warm like spring
her beauty outshines the most rarest of flowers to unfold before the consent of seasons of spring...
She didn't have to...but she stood with me
knelt beside me and held both my hands
said "Our Father...in Heaven...hallowed be Thy Name..."
which wrought within me a burning passionate flame
which came forth the moment her hands touched mine
to recite the rosary bead by bead with her by my side

angels hath cometh for wherefore she goes
for she is Queen of Heaven and earth
her presence will bring forth the host of angels and cherubs
and wherefore she brings them...
because she is so good
Jesus is there...for He is God...who hears the plea of His pastoral flock...
Jesus my good Shepherd, Savior, husband...my God and my rock...
within Thee I can always withdraw grace and salvation
within Thee I can always find peace and the strength to endure
Whenever my faith- like a boat that's in danger of sailing in the stormy seas
with Thee O God Jesus...I find my true peace...

Before Thee throngs of sweet essence uncurled before Him
and roses came round Thy sweet head
and upon Thy sweet feet they lay round to revere
O God when Thou speak...is like sweet honey to the ears
as lilies came forth and anoint Thy sweet vessel...
upon Mother Mary, flowers so vary
had coloured her sweet veil and crowned her with prerogative glory
which she shares with the Son
for what she has done
the vessel which brought forth the only Son of the Father...our God...in Heaven...

Then both friends...and both revered for one was God my Savior
the other of course, my revered sweet Mother...of God...my Savior
Both equally precious...and equally gold...
both held my sinful hands as the beads unfold
each said prayer...from mine sinful lips
grace covered me as both precious Treasures held my hands firm in their grip...

As I stand by the altar
of the Holy Lord God
I lit the candle of faith
and left it on the mantle of my mind
I made three signs of my faith in the Lord
the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit...all three in one
I knelt before the Master
Whose grace and mercy is multitude and more
Praise God who is good, merciful and graceful...
