Tarde Te Amei
Irmã Kelly Patrícia
Late I Loved You
I entered my innermost being
Under Your guidance, and I succeeded
Because You became my help
I entered and saw with the eyes of my heart
The unchanging, strong, and shining light
Whoever knows the truth
Knows this light
Oh, eternal truth
True charity
You Are my God
For You I sigh day and night
Since I met You
And You showed me who You were
You radiated Your strength over me
Giving me Your love
Late I loved You, late I loved You
Oh, Beauty so ancient and so new
There You were inside and I was outside
And I was outside
Things held me away from You
That would only exist in You
You were with me and I was not with You
And I was not with You
You called, cried out for me
And chased away my deafness
You shone, radiated over me
Casting away my darkness
You exhaled fragrance and I breathed it in
You touched me and I burned for Your peace
I burned for Your peace
I burned for Your peace
