Lord, help us to live  like you,
When we find life full of strife:
Give us the strength and courage,
So we'll have pure love in life.           

Life isn't always our way,                    
With your help it can go yours,
When we're open to your will,
We notice joy in life pours. 
                               
Hopeful Lord, help us to be
At times when we find life rough:
Help us so we won't worry,
Peace and joy give us enough.

Help our love to never fade.

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

Today now is at an end,
God has made you my angel,

Watch over me during life,
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,
Just like years they have before.

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.

Of the sins I have committed,
Lord, help me to be aware of:
Help me to repent of them,
And give to you Lord my love,

When I see others in need,
Help me know what I should do.
With my time and possessions,
Help me use them Lord for you.  

First in life help me keep you,
And show you my gratitude:
Help me be kind and loving,
So that your ways are pursued.        

Heaven is my destiny,
How to live help me to see.

Lord, give me wisdom I need,
So I'll know how I should love.

Help me live as you want Lord,
With heaven my destiny:
Help me live my life for you,
Living a life that's holy.

When I encounter hardships,
And lemons life gives to me:
Put in my life some sweetness,
So I won't be so grumpy.

You know what I can handle,
And things that are hard to bear:    
Help me that I won't lose hope,
When I need you most, be there.

Counsel us, Lord, what we should do
Lord, give us wisdom that we need,
Holy lives help us to pursue,

Tell us what you want us to do,
This request, Lord, we ask of you.
Lord, heal both our hearts and our minds,
And let our lives become anew.

Lord, help us to know right from wrong,
To your ways help us to belong:
Help us so we'll stay close to you,
Help our souls, Lord, to remain strong.

When our souls, rough times try to taint,
Then give us help to be a saint.

As the sun glistens on snow,
The flakes then begin to melt:
Bitter cold makes its way in,
And its brutal pain is felt.

It is hard for snow to melt,      
When the degrees get this low:
The blizzard is in full steam,
And the temp is ten below.

We'll go in and make a fire,
Where no bitter winds will be:
I want weather hot or warm,
Cold days I don't want to see.

Keep your cold and snowy days,
Give me them warm, sunny rays.

When I find life burdensome,
Help me Lord to turn to you:
Dear Lord, give to me your wisdom,
Help me know what I should do.      

Lord, help me to realize,
The depth of your love for me:
Give me what I'm in need of,
Bestow on me your mercy.

Dear Lord, infuse in my heart,
Your tranquility and peace:
Joys in my life have abound,
Have them increase and not cease.

Lord, make each day much brighter,
And make my burdens lighter,

Help us, Lord, know what to do.
Give us strength to follow you.
At times in life when we're weak,
Make us strong and make us meek.

Help us Lord in times of strife,
Our lives help us live for you,
Help us Lord, grow close to you,
Holiness, help us pursue.

Lord, when people need our help,
Them help us to not ignore.
At times when we are tempted,
Help us Lord to sin no more,

Lord, instill in us your peace,
And each day make it increase.
