Preciosa
Your words are always pleasant to my soul
and their intent sweet as honey in its comb
and where you walk buds and blossoms flower
my desire to capture its beauty in every hour
Your movements are married to every virtues grace
and we ourselves desire to clearly reflect its face
you did seek our healing of every wounded pain
and all its comforts is the song of its refrain
They are drawn to you like a mighty crowd
though you are soft spoken not among the loud
it is your solace they seek in all their days
until the time they learn the fullness of your ways
Like the earth we are mired in its clay
until we are molded into learning Love your way
so baked and scorched like the deserts of the earth
until your reign is known and of its worth
Soft and tender like a mother to her babe
barely a whisper the voice the spirit made
you drew pictures in every word we heard
until its knowledge we have completely learned
Like children you gave everyone your own affection
directed them to give the highest values their inspection
fed those who followed all their bodies , hearts and mind
taught them to seek until the noble virtues find
And as we grew taught us the things to cherish
that we must never allow those things to perish
and this is why I will always turn to you
there is such sweetness the things you taught to do
There can never be enough lifting of your praise
you have sought to give us love with everlasting days
So gently did you treat us like a newborn child
rocked us with your own songs and of a love that's undefiled
I hear your music its like an evening serenade
I long to hear it the songs of life's parade
you are my King the master of its every song
among your company where I desire to belong
The spirit and the bride say
Come and take life's water free
amen Let your kindgom come
