Loving Lord, bestow on us,
Your grace that we're in need of:
Hate, help our hearts never hold,
And be open to true love.

On our journey, while on earth,
Help us so we will please you:
Your wisdom brings to us joy,
It, Lord, help us to pursue.

Draw us, Lord, to your Kingdom                                         
Where love is heaven's center:
A place Satan can't sneak in
Where there He can not enter.

More like You, help us to see.
Pure and clear , help our souls be.

During the time of conception,                              
Babies get their humanity:
Two cells unite to bring new life,
An individual baby.

A woman became a mother,                          
As pregnant she then had become:          
Let's  pray and help her protect life,  
So her baby she will welcome.    

As life keeps on developing                                    
The same person that one will be:
Let’s respect life of every stage,
And better off we all will be.

Help me find them dear Mother,
