📜 Song lyrics:
A flame from the ashes of her sorrow gave birth,
To a refuge for souls, where heaven's hope partook of earth.
In the shadow of olive trees,
A resting place, a cradle of peace,
Where Jesus and the apostles used to tread,
A fire was kindled, through blood and tears shed,
She wove golden threads of peace from her pain,
Vast riches but a loss, and Christ her gain,
In a world by sorrow torn and by strife bled.
From the lands of Hispania,
In the fourth century did she start,
From wealth to grace, Melania,
Journeyed eastward, with faith in her heart.
Her husband and children laid to earth's rest,
Alexandria and Jerusalem on her quest,
Leaving behind a life of worldly riches and fame,
She followed the call of Christ’s holy name.
A lamp on the Mount, the light shining clear,
A shelter of hope in times of confusion and fear,
She poured out her life, a vessel of love,
Leading troubled souls to peace from above.
Amidst the Arian strife, she offered her hand,
A refuge for the faithful across a troubled land.
For the persecuted, her monastery a sanctuary warm,
Where weary souls could rest, and hope find its form.
What she built on the rock, by grace it was sealed
A community of prayer, where wounds were healed.
A wellspring of love, by faith and hope's union,
To weary pilgrims seeking eternity's communion.
A lamp on the Mount, the light shining clear,
A shelter of hope in times of confusion and fear,
She poured out her life, a vessel of love,
Leading troubled souls to peace from above.
In the desert’s quiet, she found her peace,
A heart set ablaze, where strife would cease,
Her granddaughter followed, the legacy passed,
A dynasty of faith, built to last.
Like the wise virgins, her lamp was alight,
Ready for the Bridegroom, through day and night,
Her prayers were olive branches in the garden’s embrace,
Uniting all in the warmth of God’s grace.
A lamp on the Mount, the light shining clear,
A shelter of hope in times of confusion and fear,
She poured out her life, a vessel of love,
Leading troubled souls to peace from above.

All of the music on this channel is made with AI music generation software called Suno. The lyrics are from my poetry.
