Dear Father: As I move to play
this composition that I would this day
perform, I humbly pause to pray
that all false sense of self retire
where, in the sacrificial fires,
it is destroyed—and Love alone inspire!
Then, as I strive to honor You,
let this a true reflection be
of Soul-inspired harmony;
whence heaven's tones and cadence true
speak Spirit's purpose through and through,
and lead my listeners up to You!
