My Lady, I give you praise
lift me out of the depths
and do not let my despair consume me.
My God, I call to you for help
heal me.
My Mother, save me from ruination;
do not abandon me.
I sing with the rest of the wholly holy to our Mother;
And give her praise.
She holds nothing against us,
and loves us unconditionally;
I remember, that no matter how dark the night,
there is always a dawn.
With her mercy and protection
I feel safe and secure,
I rest assured
My Lady, you have awakened my soul
and made me fierce and free;
I am vulnerable, though,
and that fills me with fear and doubt .
I call to you, my Mother;
I need your mercy and protection:
Please help me to be one with your beauty,
and keep me from tumbling in the surf,
give me the courage, strength, and patience
to be faithful.
Hear me, I am here;
please dear mother, be my safe harbor
Turn my brooding ache into delicious hope;
take away the hurt and give me equanimity,
Help me listen to the inaudible moans of your presence,
and relax in your breath of life.
