As I Kneel Before You
=====================
w&m: Maria Parkinson, 1978

[Verse 1]
As I kneel before you,
As I bow my head in pray'r,
Take this day, make it yours,
and fill me with your love.

[Chorus]
Ave Maria, gratia plena.
Dominus tecum. Benedictatu.

[Verse 2]
All I have I give you,
Ev'ry dream and wish are yours;
Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,
present them to your Son.

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
As I kneel before you,
As I see your smiling face,
Ev'ry thought, Ev'ry word,
is lost in your embrace.

[Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]
