Praise be my Mother
She watches over me
Praise be my Mother
She takes me to my knees

Praise be my Mother
She makes my body clean
So that I can see
Beauty all around me

Um um um um um um 
Forever I bow to you

Praise be my Father
He watches over me
Praise be my Father
He takes me to the heights

Praise be my Father
Heals with the hand of light
So that my heart can beat
To the rhythm of His love

Um um um um um um 
Forever I bow to you

In this infinite space of love
Holy Mother comes to you
In this infinite space of love 
She holds you in her arms
In this infinite space of love
She speaks of trust, forgiveness too

Hold on 
Hold on
Hold on to the truth

God is love
God is real
God loves you
God loves you

In this infinite space of love
Saint Michael comes to you
In this infinite space of love
He shields all doubt
In this infinite space of love
He draws His sward of light

Hold on 
Hold on
Hold on to the truth

God is love
God is real
God loves you
God loves you

In this infinite space of love
Holy Jesus comes to you
In this infinite space of love
He’s right there in your heart
In this infinite space of love
He’s in me, He’s in you too

Hold on 
Hold on
Hold on to the truth

God is love
God is real
God loves you
God loves you

Oxala I call on you
Oxala I call on you
Make my spirit sovereign
Help me walk with you

Oxala Oxala
Oxala Oxala
Ignite my light within
Ignite my light within

Oxala I call on you
Oxala I call on you
Help me love these shadows
Hold my child within

Oxala Oxala
Oxala Oxala
Ignite my light within
Ignite my light within

Oxala I call on you
Oxala I call on you
Open the pure white rose of my heart
I child in your sacred garden

Oxala Oxala
Oxala Oxala
Ignite my light within
Ignite my light within

All the creatures big and small
And the bird they have their call
They sing, they growl, they speak the truth
Of God that lives in all

Wake up, wake up, one and all
We jump we dance for love
In everyone our spirit calls
To stand up straight and tall

The wind in the trees, the leaves they dance
And the shine of the sun on the stream
The crystalline songs of God’s new earth
Ring out for all to hear

In the wind I saw the Orixás Iansã
The wind I saw the Orixás
She took me to the east
She took me to the west
Then she placed her hand on my heart
With her fierce clarity
Her breezes calming me
She brought me back home to myself

In the wind I heard the Orixás Eparrê
The wind I heard the Orixás
In the storms of your life
There’s a stillness deep inside
Take my hand and reach for the light
In the heart of innocence
There’s an ever present truth
A child reaching through the darkness

In the wind I saw the Orixás Iansã
The wind I saw the Orixás
I feel the waves of her breeze
Helping me to breath
Bring me patience and purity
Velvet pedals of the flowers
There softness I embrace
Let me not forget the tenderness

We’re a circle of light in the universe
A channel of hope in the forest

A beam to the stars
A guiding light 
That guides our life
Holy Daime

We pray and sing in devotion
Seek refuge within this union

We dance with the doves
Our teachers we bow
A message of love
Our salvation

The guides they come to teach us our worth
The force of the wings, the water, the earth

This fire of love
Force of the stars
With this we meet
Holy Daime

Iansã arrives with her spiraling light
The spiral of transformation

We hold the sun
We honor the son
And our Dear Lady
At the gates of dawn
