As I kneel before you

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)
