CHORUS
I am on my knees
My eyes focus on you in your tabonacle
My heart close to you my Lord, Jesus Christ
In the moment of encharistment.
VERSE
My God, my Christ, whom present in my heart
I praise you, oh Lord, I worship you
In your present at the tabonacle
For me to be with you forever more.
VERSE
My God, my Christ, whom present in my mind
I pray with Mother Mary for virginity
And for others to receive your graces
For me to have faith in you throughout my life.
VERSE
My God, my Christ, whom present in the church
I pray for mom and dad to live a faithful life
Upon the Lord, Jesus Christ, in heaven with the Father
And loves brothers and sisters as self.

5/22/2017: My first mix of the song. It is a lot faster than I had originally envisioned, but I felt a need to give the song a drive and a lift.
Enchristment
CHORUS
On my knees, I humbly pray.
I love to feel your radiance.
My heart is one with you, O Lord,
in this moment of Enchristment.
VERSE 1
My God, my Christ, you are in my heart.
I praise you, I worship you.
Your presence in this holy place
makes me want to be with you
forevermore.
VERSE 2
My God, my Christ, you are in my mind.
I pray, with Mary, for chastity.
I pray for us to receive your grace
as we place our trust in you
forevermore.
VERSE 3
My God, my Christ, you are in the Church.
Help our parents live a faithful life.
Help us love each other
as we love ourselves.
forevermore.

Will you sing this song for me
I am hoping that once it done, I will share it with others to pray the prayer after communion at mass.
Prosody
Prosody vs. storyline
In talking about the message that you want to convey, we should call that the storyline or theme or subject. I hope I am staying faithful to your intended message. I try to imagine myself in a church or a quiet room, asking Christ to help make us holy – myself, my family and the whole world – and longing for a timeless connection with the Spirit of God. Please let me know if I have strayed.
I was having a hard time singing the word tabernacle. It's hard to make it sound smooth and lyrical. Plus, I do not think we should place too much focus on a receptacle for the Eucharist. We should dwell on the radiance of Christ inside and surrounding that tabernacle. The same would go for a monstrance. It would be difficult to include that word in song lyrics. I prefer to use poetic words that convey the mystery and attributes of Christ, not the gilded enclosures we have crafted for the "display" of the Body of Christ. I hope you understand.
