Step soft onto the hallowed ground
With humility open the chapel door
Slip in silence to the prie deau
And kneel in the holy space
Where you’ve been so many times before
Yet know you are a stranger there
Offer up your first hymn
As the veil slips at last from your eyes
Light the candle flame within.
All ground you walk upon is holy
Be humble at every door
Learn to be gentle with yourself
Listen to the answers that come unbidden
When you sit quiet in yourself
Pray for the sins of not knowing
Who you are.
