Song Lyric: HOLY DOOR

Song Lyric:  HOLY DOOR

Chorus
Enter the church through the Holy Door
During the Jubilee year 2025
At the Grotto, Portland, Oregon, United States of America
Enter into the house of God to eternity
Upon the house of Saint Joseph, Mother Mary, and Jesus Christ
Enter into the sainthood’s direction of the saints.

Verse
Walk through the Holy Door at Grotto
I feel the change in my own life’s direction
As I walk through the Holy Door at Grotto
Enter into the new world of Saints
As the house of the Holy Family
And the new world in the direction of the Saints.

Verse
I attended the mass in Mary’s Chapel
Feel the resonance of peace within oneself
All around me are International members of the church
Only a few members from my Vietnamese parish
I am entering into the life of the church
Where will my walk of faith lead me?

Verse
Do not forget to capture the moment
As I took the last picture of the Holy Door
And the peace that is blessed by the priest at Mass
Fourth, I go in my life to praise the Lord, Jesus Christ.
In peace as I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others.

The Grotto

Dan Vi: Thanks for sharing your verses about the The Grotto – The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother. I visited the website thegrotto.org. What a beautiful place for centering oneself in this "oasis in the city [where] visitors and pilgrims find serenity, comfort, and inspiration as they walk through the gardens."

It would be hard to turn this into a song with regular meter and rhyme. However, it could be sung in plainchant style. 

Your words could also be an inspiration for a much different kind of song that sharply contrasts the quiet spirituality of The Grotto with the rancor, divisiveness, destruction and godlessness of events happening in downtown Portland. Just a thought.
