Ave Maria

Written by Maria Parkinson

As I kneel before you,

 As I bow my head in prayer, 

Take this day,

make it yours and fill me with your love.

Refrain: 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.

(Repeat Refrain)

As I kneel before you,

And I see your smiling face,

Ev'ry thought, ev'ry word Is lost in your embrace.

(Repeat Refrain)
