Bright crimson stars in heaven,
On St. Val's night turn real bright,
It's when your smiles reach them there,
Each one then they do ignite.

The stars that are in heaven,
Are in the shape of a heart.
Throughout the whole universe,
Stars' beauty your smiles impart.    

They get much more beautiful.
When your smiles there make way,
And throughout all St. Val's night,
In lovely splendor they stay.

Dear, you are that special star,
Heaven's stars can't compare to,
You're not lovely just this night,
But day and night the year through.

Enter My Heart Dear Jesus
Enter my heart dear Jesus,
And infuse your love in it:
Like the stars in the heavens,
Help my heart be brightly lit.

I'll open my heart Jesus,
In it, there I want your love,
There you're welcome to enter:          
By me you're thought highly of.                          

When I find life hard to live,
Wisdom, give me so I'll see,
That life can be  beautiful,        
When I live my life for thee.                

Dear Jesus, enter my heart,
What's sinful help make depart.

Stars
The heaven's stars are treasured,
By poets around the world:
Your friendship is treasured more,
In my heart, there it's unfurled.

Stars are renowned for beauty,
Lilacs for their fragrance sweet,
By me much more your friendship,
I care for and want to keep.

I want you truly happy,
In your heart I want God's peace,
It's your heart I want tranquil,
Your joys I hope will increase.    

Your heart sure is attractive,  
With light heaven's stars can't give.

Jesus, Be My Life's Compass
Jesus, be my life's compass
Jesus, help me follow Thee:  
My love encompasses your heart,
In your heart too it will be

A compass can get broken,
Your guiding way never will,
As it will lead me to you,                
And protect me from evil.

Going north, south, east and west,
I won't have any need of.
The Ten Commandments I need,
God and neighbors help me love.

When I am lost during life,      
Jesus, guide me where to be,
The path that leads to heaven,
On this path Jesus guide me.

Blessed Mother Help Us
Help us to be courageous,    
Blessed Mother Mary dear,
Help us in searching for truth,
In our hearts have it adhere.            

*To God, Mother, draw us close,    
And to your beloved Son,
He wants the truth known to us,
And the things that he wants done.

Times when we are not at peace  
Peace, have Jesus give to us,
Mother, help make our minds sharp,
And our souls be glorious.      

God's will for us, help us know,
When we talk, wise help us be:  
Our souls like yours dear Mother,
Help them be ones of beauty.  

Whatever God wants of us,
Help us to be aware of.
When unloving then we are,
Mother show us how to love.

Help us Mother in our lives,
So holiness we'll pursue,
We open our hearts to you,              
Blessed Mother dressed in blue.
Please help me Blessed Mother,
So beauty my heart will see,
The way best I can please you,
Mother make it known to me.

Help my heart never grow cold,
And be warm by showing love,
Put bright smiles upon my face,
More countless than stars above.

While in this world of darkness,
Mother show me how to be,
A light that can brightly shine,
Ridding darkness with beauty.

In Christ's presence help me stay,
Help me Mother show the way.
Dear Lord, help our unbelief,
Help us put our trust in you,
Help us believe you love us,
To you help us be drawn to.

When miseries are profuse,  
Remind us, what you went through,
Give us the strength that we need
To make our lives ones anew.    

Lord, when we are suffering,
Help us, Lord, in times of pain,   
Help us Lord to be at peace,
And at peace help us remain

Life has its difficulties,
Our souls Lord, put them at ease.
