Mga dasal at panalangin
Sa loob ng simbahang taimtim
Mula sa yapak ng mga paang may paniniwala.
Sa bawat palakpak ng mga anghel sa langit
Sa hampas ng mga palaspas sa hangin
Sa usok ng mga tirik na kandila ng panahon
Sa amoy ng mga puting bulaklak
Paghahangad ng tamis na biyaya at pag-asa.
Silang nakakakita, nakakarinig at nakakaamoy.
Kanilang nalalasahan at nadarama
Sa ngalan ng pananampalataya sa kanya.
