Help me, dear, loving Jesus,
To know what you call me to;
Give me the strength and courage,
To do the things I should do.

Help me to love my neighbors,
And to take care of my health,
Love for you and my neighborss
Is how I cab find true wealth.

It is not things of the4 world,
That can bring to me real peace;
Earthly things are bought and sold,
But real peace won't come to cease.

Help me, dear, loving Jesus,
How to live, show me the way.
I should do.

Doctor's Promise
We were never promised,
A rose garden life would be,
But something so much better,
That God wants to set hearts free.

We're asked to open our hearts,
There, God wants to come inside;
And make each life happier
Having Joys there multiplied.

God promised that He'd love us,
And listen when we do pray;
The greatest heart Physician,
Answers our calls night and day.

Guide Me holy Spirit
In my life, Holy Spirit,
Guidance that I'm in need of,
Give it to me every day
And help me know how to love.

Help me know what I should do;
Give me courage to be strong.
Help me enter heaven's gates
where forever I'll belong.

Holy Spirit, please guide me
From evil and help me flee,
So on earth I will please you.
Holy Spirit, I love Thee.

Help me love you forever;
Help me so I'll sin never.

Joseph G. Schelling
Dear Mother of our Savour,
When we're in need, come to our aid.
Encourage us to seek guidance,
From your Son when we are afraid.

You know how much he does love you,
And how he also loves us too;
Help us to put our trust in him,
As he helps us draw close to you.

Dear Mother, help us to be strong,
When temptations in life are here;
So we can denounce what's evil,  
To God, dear Mother, draw us near.

Blessed Mother, you're ourqueen,    
With splendor unlike flowers,        
Flowers aren't sweet as your heart.
Your love upon us showers.

Some roses are put on show,
At a fair for their beauty;
If you also would be there,
First place would be won by thee.

You've no need for roots or stems,
Your beauty comes from your heart;
It warms us and guides our way,
So life's dark times soon depart.

Queen of beauty, Mother dear,
Help us someday be with thee.

Lord, give me strength to not give up,
And persevere to do your will;
When life seems to cave in on me,
Peace in my heart, Lord, then instill.

With strength I need to not give up,
Your way of life help me affirm.
No matter what others may think,
From your ways, Lord, help me not squirm.

Help me that I will not give up,
During times, both trying and good;
I know you want what's good for me,
Lord, by me, this is understood.

Lord, help me not give up on life.
Lord, help me during times of strife.

From my heart I'll send them mine;
But not bright as is yours, Lord,
Unlike mine, yours is divine.

Lord, help me be tsalt and light,
Needed to make hearts delight.

Zero In My Heart,
Won't you zero in my heart.
Your love and your TLC?
In my heart there's a bulls - eye,
That you've made so tenderly.  

Gently come and touch my heart,
With peace and tranquility;
I hope you know Mary Anne,
You mean very much to me.

Won't you zero in my heart,
And there bring your bright sunshine?                                                   By me your heart is treasured,                        
And worth more than a gold mine.

Your warm heart is full of love,
That my heart is in need of.
Your heart is full of sunshine,
It is where your smiles get theirs;
Your heart is brimming with love,
I love the way your heart cares.

My heart lights up like a star,
It's your love that makes it glow;
Your friendship lights up my heart,
Friend, I hope that this you know.

You don't light my heart with fire,
And you don't use batteries;
Lightning you never do use,
Nor other ways such as these.

You fill my heart with sunshine,
With your smiles' light that is fine.

Give me the strength to obey,
Dear Mother of God, help me;
Dear Blessed Mother Mary,
Help me show God love freely.

Like you showed obedience,
Help me to obey like you;
Help me pursue holiness,
Blessed Mother dressed in blue.

Mother, help me be loving,
And show God my gratitude,
Those who are in need of love,
Them, help me never exclude.
You're a very special friend,
Making life lovely, it's true;
Because you're my treasured friend,
I do dearly care for you.

In my life you're a real friend,
Joys in life you help me find;
At times when I am real tense,
You then help me to unwind.

When life is full of darkness,
In it, you then bring much light;
When hard times are depressing,
You rid them like dynamite.

To me you are a swell friend,
Always there when I need one;
Your heart is one that is warm,
Yet still gives light like the sun.

I know I've been very blessed,
Having a friend such as you,
Mary Anne, you're quite a gal,
Gals like you are way too few.

To me you're someone who's swell.
Your heart is one that is prized,            
Sweeter than linden flowers,
And welcomed like sunny skies.

I find you very thoughtful,,    
With a heart that understands;
The more love that's in your heart,            
The more your heart then expands.

When your  smiles reach the heavens,
There they ricochet about;
Hitting stars to make them spin,
Yet the stars light won't go out.  

Mary Anne, you're a swell friend,
I  cherish your heart that's dear;
Keep living as God calls you,    
And to you joys will draw near.
