I present myself to you
Just as you were once presented
In the Temple to Simeon 
At the right appointed time.

I present myself to you
To receive your prophecy
Just as Anna once prophesied
Of your Peace and Justice as King.

I present myself to you
In tongues known to the Spirit only
Carried by the Winds of Heaven
As a sweet fragrance to delight you.

I present myself to you
In front of your real and true presence
In the Sacrament that lives forever
The Crux that forms our eternal way.

I present myself to you
To learn your Word in the Scriptures
Just as you once taught
The scholars and priests in the Temple.

I present myself to you
As a complete offering
Of my Will, Heart and Soul
An interpretation of my entire being.

I present myself to you
Lest I get lost somewhere along the way
Let me to be found only
In your Temple safe and saved by you.

I present myself to you
In the breaking of the Bread
And in the Chalice of Wine
To be united to your own Body and Blood.
