The Chair Rosary
Give me a chair to rest,
give me a truth to believe,
give me a belt to tie myself to my belief,
give me a life jacket to be safe from the world.

I have a belt to tie myself to my belief,
I have a life jacket to be safe from the world.
Seat belt on before taking off and landing, life jacket under your seat.
