| Irene, I carried you when you was to weak to walk
|
| I took to you when you gave your heart to God
|
| Faithful and true, that’s what I’ll always be to you
|
| Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move
|
| You have dreams and aspirations
|
| I knew you before Creation
|
| Your foundation’s solid
|
| I will give you a palace, restore your soul
|
| You’ll be up for any challenge
|
| Many storms are on the way; |
| better sharpen your faith
|
| Count the cost, take up your Cross
|
| And wear it everyday
|
| Rest in me and I will give you strength
|
| Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks my face
