I Created a new song...St. Therese's poem "Canticle to the Holy Face"

Upon the height where ancient branches lean,
A Mother walked, in majesty unseen.
Beneath the brown of Carmel’s sacred fold,
A timeless plea for wandering souls she told.
With Scapular held and Rosary in hand,
She shed her light upon a darkened land.

(Verse 1)
Garabandal, where Heaven touched the earth,
To call the soul toward its second birth.
"Return, return," the Mother’s voice implores,
To seek the peace that prayer alone restores.
The hour is late, the shadows lengthen fast,
O, turn to God while mercy’s moments last.

[Verse 2]
"The cup o’erflows," she spoke with heavy grace,
"Make sacrifice to seek the Father’s face.
In Penance find the path the saints have trod,
And let your hearts be centered on your God.
" Within the Host, the hidden King resides,
Wait for the Lord where Sacred Love abides.

[Bridge]
By the Cross that stands amidst the Pines,
The light of truth and holy justice shines.
A Warning comes to strip the soul’s disguise,
To see our lives through Heaven’s piercing eyes.
A Miracle shall bloom upon the hill,
To move the heart and bend the stubborn will.

[Chorus]
Garabandal, where Heaven touched the earth,
To call the soul toward its second birth.
"Return, return," the Mother’s voice implores,
To seek the peace that prayer alone restores.
The hour is late, the shadows lengthen fast,
O, turn to God while mercy’s moments last.

[Outro]
A Mother’s tears, a Mother’s constant plea,
By Carmel’s grace, lead us, O Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Amen.

 

Wow. The last refrain is powerful.

 

Thank you for this, non sum dignus, it catches significant themes from the apparitions, but the melody and lyrics add a touch of beauty that point to Our Lady's own incomparable beauty and humility!

You do an excellent job of melding accuracy, inspiration, prayer, and warning into one!

 

I like going back to this song, so I posted this only to bump it to the top!
