Friend, you have a sunshine heart,
That's always brightly shining.
When your love comes in my heart,
Beauty there it's designing.

Your heart has lots of sunshine,
It also has care and love,
Your heart is a rare treasure,
It's one I think highly of.

When your smiles reach the heavens,
Many stars they'll ricochet,
Then the stars will be spinning,
In a very lovely way.

Friend, keep a smile on your face,
And peace in your loving heart,
Always keep God in your heart,
And from him, friend, never part.  

When I need a friend, be there,
The way you so often do,
It is your heart so caring,
With much love I am drawn to.

For all the things I have lost,
That you have helped me to find,
Not having to search no more            
Surely does help ease my mind.

St. Anthony, please help me,              
To live in humility,
Help me live my life for God,
Showing love and charity.

Help me live in poverty,
When it's what I'm called to do,
Holiness St. Anthony,
Help me always to pursue.

Help me to live out virtues,
That will help spread the Good News.

When we spend our time with God,
That's what God wants us to do.
When we obey his commands,
Close to him, we'll be drawn to.

God wants us to visit him,
Ad give him adoration,  
He wants to give us great joy,
He wants for us elation.

The Lord can soften the soil,
That's found in a hardened heart,
When in the heart we let God in,
We will find the healing start.
