As I kneel before you,
As I bow my head in prayer,
Take this day, make it yours
And fill me with your love.
Ave Maria, Gratia plena,
Dominus tecum, Benedicta tu.
All I have I give you,
Every dream and wish are yours,
Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,
Present them to my Lord.
As I kneel before you,
And I see your smiling face,
Ev’ry thought, ev’ry word
Is lost in your embrace.
