My dear guardian angel,
Stay with me throughout this night;  
Show me how I am able,
To love God with all my might.

Help me to never despair,
From me, make the devil flee;
So I will enter heaven,
Where the devil will not be.

Heaven is full of angels,
And saints there are plenty of;
In God's eternal mansion,
Found there is unending love.

Heaven has priceless beauty,
Lasting for eternity.

Would
When the stars of heaven,
Are so awesome and so bright,
It is a heavenly view,
In which I find grand delight.

If heaven's stars were able,
I wonder what they would say;        
Would they be flabbergasted,
Like the sun that shines by day?  

Would I see them move above,  
And add fuel to their sight;
Which would make them more awesome,  
And certainly much more bright.

Would darkness of an eclipse,
Let their light be seen much more;
So they would be able to,
Bring ships safely into shore?
I saw a star and made a wish,
The prized star that I saw was you:
I was overwhelmed by your heart,
Heavenly stars I'm not drawn to.

Heavenly stars can be helpful,
In navigating the night skies,      
But my heart has no place for them,
You are the star of which I prize.

Yes, you are the star I wished on,
Earthly wealth was not my request:
I wished that you would care for me,
And that you would be my heart's guest.

I saw you star and made a wish,
God's will you'd help me accomplish.

Dear Lord, help us come to see,
You in others whom we meet.
Showing love to friends and foes,          
Evil we'll come to defeat.

All evil help us to abhor,
And in our hearts your peace release:
Show us how we are to love,
And daily have it increase.

You're the God of endless love,
Loving like you help us be:
Help us live out life's journey,
Preparing to be with Thee.

Help us Lord in times of strife,
That we'll choose what's right in life

How do you like the weather,
Mary Anne, good friend of mine?
In Missouri's bitter cold,
I bet your heart still does shine.

Intense heat does it give out,
It's too cold for that to be;
That's for stars in the heavens,
Your heart gives warmth, I can see.

Your heart is one warm enough,
To keep icicles away;
So it is never icy,
Bringing bright light in the day.

Your gold smiles , Mary Anne,
From your heart come there in flakes;
They are ones of high grade ore,
Collecting them brings high stakes.

Keep warm on bitter cold days,
At least try the best you can;
If it's at all possible,
Try to get warm, Mary Anne.

Lord, help me be slow to act,
When patience I'm in need of:
Lord, give me wisdom I need,
So I'll know how I should love.

Help me live as you want Lord,
With heaven my destiny:
Help me live my life for you,
Living a life that's holy.

When I encounter hardships,
And lemons life gives to me:
Put in my life some sweetness,
So I won't be so grumpy.

You know what I can handle,
And things that are hard to bear:    
Help me that I won't lose hope,
When I need you most, be there.
