Danielle Rose Skorich is a 2002 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where she received bachelor degrees in music and theology. At the age of 17, she traveled to Delhi, India to volunteer with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity. This experience gave her a desire to serve the poorest of the poor by offering her gift of music as a means of alleviating the spiritual poverty of America. Her debut album, Defining Beauty, was released in 2001 by World Library Publications.

Beautiful song and beautiful woman... may we all become saints for the love of
Christ! For simplicity's sake, if you prefer, you can forget the fancy chords and
just do D's and G's. It will pretty much sound the same. Pax et bonum

I tried to prove my love for you, and so to gain the prize.
D Gadd2
I thought I'd be a martyr like Cecilia.
D Gadd2
I hoped I'd disappear like Saint Therese,
Bm A
Or wear a hidden crown of thorns like Rose of Lima,

Bm Asus A
When you hung upon the cross looking at me,
Gadd2 A7sus
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else.

Bmadd2 A
To be faithful like Mother Teresa in the darkness,
Gadd2 Asus
Lord, won't you make me just like her?
D Gadd2
I tried to kneel for hours in the chapel corner,
D Gadd2
To persevere like Paul with all my sleepless nights,
Bm A
To stay awake and trim my lamp with ten wise virgins,
Gadd2 Aadd4
To really give the devil a good fight.

Gadd2 A7sus
And bore the new Eve from your wounded side.
D G(add2)/D
If it weren't for my sins or wounds or weakness,
D Gadd2 A Bmadd2
Then you wouldn't have married me upon the cross.
