Dear Lord, help me to notice,
The blessings you bring to me;
For good things, Lord, that you give,
Gratefully, Lord, I thank Thee.

Good things, I have not asked for,
Many still you give to me;
Lord, because you so love me,
Happy you want me to be.

For things that lead me to you,
I give you my gratitude;
For things such as these, dear Lord,
Give to me my whole life through.

I can see how I should live,
With commands to me you give.

Lord, help me be triumphant,
Over temptations each day.
Your grace bestow upon me.
Show me what to do and say.

Dear Lord, to me show love,
Unconditionally so.

In holiness help me grow.

Lord, give me sufficient strength,
Help me follow your Commands.
Help my heart to love like yours,
And be one that understands.

To heaven my future home;
Where there, I'll be contented,
No longer on earth I'll roam.

Mary Anne's Heart Of TLC
There's A lovely lass I know,
Who makes my heart brightly glow;
Times when my heart needs repair,    
A patch with her love she'll sew.

My heart makes way for her smiles,
Where they're all welcomed inside.
When days are dark and dreary,
From her sunshine I can't hide.

Her stature is one that's small.
But a giant heart she has.
It's one that shines forth brightly,
And it sparkles with pizazz.            
But a giant heart she has;

In my heart a place there'll be,
For my good friend's TLC.

To Your Son draw close to.
Lives that are pure and holy,
Dear Mother help us pursue.

The road that leads to heaven,
Each day help us to follow.
Love we should have for others,
Each day, Mother, help it grow.

Mother help us show mercy,
Help our lives become anew;
As we show to others love,
Lovely Lady dressed in blue.

To live as God wants us to,
You showed us how it is done.
Help us, Mother, live our lives,
So that they will please your Son.

Happy Mother's Day, Mother
Mother, with your heart this night,
With heaven's stars then compete?
They may shine giving brilliance,
But they will not be stars sweet.

Tonight should I gaze at stars,
You're the one who I'll think of;
To me you're a special star,
Who has showed me how to love.

I know how blessed that I am,
As my mom, God gave me you.
You warmed my heart with sunshine,
To your heart mine is drawn to.

You've a heart of TLC,
That is prized for its beauty.
Yow have showed me how to live,
As you found it your duty.

It's been over a decade,
Since June, Two thousand seven.
I know that you are happy.
Because now you're in heaven.
