Em Teu Altar
Walmir Alencar
At Your Altar
In your presence I find myself, Lord, infinite God
Your gaze follows me and you know who I am
Seeing your greatness and my smallness
I acknowledge that my story is nothing without your love
That's why I come to seek you
Because I need, my God, to be in your arms
To dwell in your heart and surrender myself to you, completely
I will abandon myself in you, Lord
In you I will rest
Your tenderness welcomes me
I have found a safe refuge
I come to surrender my heart to you
Take my being, my will
Receive, Lord, my life
As a living proof of love
At your altar, Lord
