And things keep on going wrong:
Give us strength and wisdom Lord,
To live our lives so they're strong.

Show us how we're to  live right.

A true wise way of living

Through this night stay nearby me,
If I should die before I wake,
Take me to heaven's beauty.

Protect me from the devil's wrath,
In life help me avoid sin,
Help me follow heaven's path.

In which I'll always delight.

Lord, it was on Good Friday,
For us you were crucified:
To show how much you love us,
On Calvary there you died.

When crosses are hard to bear
Our lives Lord will you then touch?
Lord, then help carry the weight,
And to us it will mean much.

When we find life burdensome,
Others help us to think of.
Give us the strength and courage,
So we can give them our love.

Help us with life's crosses, Lord
Lead us to heaven's reward.

And the warm days will get more:
The apple trees will blossom,

There's no way I want to freeze,
Warm months I treasure the most:
Give me days when the sun shines,
So in the sun I can toast.

My dear guardian angel,
Watch over me through this night:
If I should die during the night,  
Close by keep in your sight.

When I meet my Creator,
Be with me there at my side:
You know my strengths and failures,
And in you I can confide.

For helping me through my life,
My gratitude I express:
When God asks something of me,
Help me know how to say yes.

Guardian Angel like you,
Help me so that I'll be true.

Jesus, like you help us love,
So the world's a better place:
Times when life is depressing,
Give our hearts a warm embrace.

When life is full of sorrows,
And is full of agony:
Lift us up in times like these,
And  put our minds more at ease.    

Your Father's will help us know,
His commands help us follow:
Jesus, help us love like you,
In holiness help us grow.                  

Help us be meek and gentle,
This request we ask of thee:
Humble, Jesus, help us be,
The truth, help us clearly see.

Help us to be courageous,
At times when we're made fun of:
Not returning an insult,
Instead responding with love.
