Sweet Mother
Sweet Mother, your gaze reached me
Your purity touched the deepest part of me
Sweet Mother, your light invaded me
And love arose in me, where only fear was seen
I rest in your lap, I throw myself into your arms
Gently you steal me from myself
In you I am remade, and I open all space
So that God can overcome
I rest in your lap, I throw myself into your arms
Gently you steal me from myself
In you I am remade, and I open all space
So that God can overcome
I rest in your lap, I throw myself into your arms
Gently you steal me from myself
In you I am remade, and I open all space
So that God can overcome in me
In my smallness I surrender then
And I join your motherly heart
Your smile heals my soul
Your strong embrace calms me
Oh sweet Mother, I trust in you
I rest in your lap, I throw myself into your arms
Gently you steal me from myself
In you I am remade, and I open all space
So that God can overcome
I rest in your lap (I rest Mother)
I throw myself into your arms (I throw myself into your arms)
Gently you steal me from myself
In you I am remade, and I open all space
So that God can finally overcome
May overcome in me
May God overcome in me
