Dear Lord, give us strength we need,
So that wimps we will not be:
Help us Lord to know your will,
What it is Lord, help us see.

During times of temptation,
Help us, quickly, Lord, to flee,        
Show us how we are to live,
Graciously give us mercy.    

Help us grow closer to you,
Help us to love, Lord like you:            
When we become more like you,
What's good we'll try to pursue.  

Help us live virtuously,
Help us draw others to Thee.

Help me show them love kindly.

And live as you call me to.

Come To Me Dear Jesus
I come to you dear Jesus,
During holy mass once more:
Give me your body to eat,
My spirit once more restore.                

If I am in mortal sin,          
To confession help me go,
Before I will receive you,
With a soul as white as snow.        

Jesus, I know you love me,
And want me  to visit you:
I adore you loving Jesus,
With a heart sincere and true.

Dearest sweet Jesus, come to me,
Holy each day help me be.
Dear Lord, bestow your grace on me,
Help me to be more like you;
Lord, help me to  be humble,
Holiness help me pursue.   
                 
Give me the strength that I need,
To live a life that's holy;
When I find life a burden,
My yoke help  me carry.


When I need your help the most,            
Please do not make me tarry;
To you draw me closer near,
And to your Mother Mary.          

Graciously, help to .me give,
Jesus, show me how to live.

Hawaii's sweetest
Hawaii hsd its suggar,
But it's not as sweet as you:
You are sweeter than honey                
To you I'm always drawn to.

You are a senorita,
Who has a heart one of gold:
You are a treasured angel,
Your heart is one never cold.

If I'd move to Hawaii
I sure wish you would come there:
Your heart thar's full of sunshine,
Its light there will always bear.

More renowned than sugar cane
Is your heart that I'll retain.

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.

Then dear Lord be at our side:          
Come into our hearts, dear Lord,
There we want you to abide.

When times are topsy-turvy,
Then bring to us, Lord your peace:
Life's joys that are camouflaged,
Reveal them, have them increase.

Dear good and thoughtful Jesus,
You know what we're in need of:
Give us your care and kindness,
And especially your love.

Like you, Mother, help me live.    
Encourage me to forgive.
For God help me live my life,
Especially when there's strife.

The hearts of others help me win,
To sin help me close my heart:
Like Jesus help me to be,
Evil help me want no part. 

Help me to say yes like you,
To what Jesus calls me to:
 A pure life, help me to live,
Holiness, help me pursue.

To Jesus help me turn to.
Help me, Mother live like you.

I want you to know my friend,
More than emeralds that shine,
Brightness in your heart I find,  
Making its way into mine.          

Friend, when it comes to sweetness,
Your heart has very much of.
Your heart is kind and gentle,
Being one profuse with love.

Competing with heaven's stars,
I find your smiles that shine bright.
When heaven's stars cease to shine,
That's when your smiles, them, ignite.

Your smiles sure are outstanding,
Darkness, they can get rid of.
Darkness can not stay near them,.
Due to brightness of your love.

You are a special angel,
My angelic caring friend.
Your heart of golden sunshine,
Has a sparkling, brilliant blend.

Jesus, Our Everlasting King
Following Bethlehem's star,
While in search of the Christ Child;
The three kings led by the star,
Led them to Jesus' heart mild.

To the universal King,
They brought to him frankincense;
They also brought myrrh and gold,  
And their love had no absence.

We also like The Three Kings,
Need to bring him love and praise;
And continue doing so,
All throughout our final days.

Having Jesus as our King,
We've his love everlasting.
