Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
To Jesus, there draw us near    
When life's seems overwhelming,    
Peace have Christ  hen make appear.

Dear Mother, help us do God's will,
In all that we say and do,
To God's Commandments, Mother,
Help us be faithful and true.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Give us strength we're in need of:
Like you dear Blessed Mother,
Show us Mother how to love.    

Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Close to Jesus help us be.

In times when life seems perplexed,
And we see hope far from near:
By putting our trust in God,
Joys in life we'll see appear.

Life isn't always rosy,
Miserable at times it gets:
When things don't go as we want,
We might haul in empty nets.

God wants us to be happy,
Joys in life He'll help us find:
God wants us to be grateful,      
And to long for peace of mind.

Lead us to heaven, dear, Lord,
By us, there you'll be adored.

Lord, take my life from the earth,
To heaven, Lord, lead me there:
The weight of life’s crosses, Lord,
For me is too much to bear.

Help me carry life's crosses,
When I find life hard to live:
Needed wisdom, I need Lord,
It sufficient to me give.

I ask you Lord to help me,
Especially when there's strife:
Help me Lord to not give up,
Help me when hard I find life.

The virtues, Lord that I need,
To me give them, Lord I plead.
