Lyrics follows the music
There was a Lady she appeared in a dream
She stood in a field of clover by a brook in a meadow green
Her countenance was gentle a lamb lay at her feet
She held a cherished child as she wept
Her hair a golden yellow her cheeks a rosy hue
A cloak of muslin cloth she wore a sandal for a shoe
Like a songbird singing a voice sweet as a lark
My Madonna of the heart
My Madonna loving all who come to her
My Madonna solemn grace and pure
A light shown in the distance a calm within her glowed
Birds flew round her freely she laid the child low
She raised a golden chalice to her ruby lips
Weeping tears of joy she drank the sacrament
Seeking forgiveness this gentle supplicant
My Madonna loving all who come to her
My Madonna solemn grace and pure
Like a songbird singing a voice sweet as a lark
My Madonna of the heart
Her eyes welled with water she watched the child go
She saw a golden halo surround the child’s soul
The lamb lay beside her giving comfort and strength
The child’s spirit rose into Christ's loving embrace
God blesses all by our faith
My Madonna loving all who come to her
My Madonna solemn grace and pure
Her spirit lives forever throughout the firmament
Gentle Mother Heaven sent
Like a songbird singing a voice sweet as a lark
My Madonna of the heart
