Have Mercy On Me Jesus
Have mercy on me, Jesus,
Your light in dark times show me.
When I find life hard to live,
My crosses help me carry.

Help me be good to others,
By good things I say and do;
Help me be like you Jesus,
And your Blessed Mother too.

Jesus, help me not be blind,
Help me see how I should live;
At times when people hurt me,
Love in return help me give.

From your holy Sacred Heart,
Into my heart your love bring;
Give me strength to be like you,
With a heart that is loving.

Have mercy on me Jesus,
Good in others help me find.
Give my heart the strength to love,
To others help me be kind.

When there is grace in one's heart,
Life is easier to live;
People who are close to Christ,
Are blessed with joys he does give.

Brilliant light from our Savior,
Will not cease to shine brightly;
His heart so full of beauty,
By the whole world, one can see.

When a heart does not lack grace,
It will be a heart that's wise;
The things that are not from God,
Grace-filled hearts want to despise.

When in a heart, there is grace,
It draws closer to our Lord;
To hearts it wants to show love,
God, by such hearts is adored.

When I find life a Burdensome,
During times, Lord, such as these,
Help me so I'm not worried,
Free me from anxieties.              

Help me to be contented,
With good things which I've been blessed,
Fill my heart, Lord, with your peace,
So that it is one at rest.        

When I find life difficult    
Life's problems, Lord help me face,      
Lord, help me when I'm burdened            
   And grant me your tranquil grace.

When a burden life becomes,
Your peace, Lord, my heart welcomes.

And innocent life protect:            
Help us protect the voiceless
Who are worthy of our respect.

Of respect we're in need of:
If others will not love us,
Then give to us, Lord your love.

On a cross for us you died:
Show us how we are to live,
Dear Lord, over us preside.

Lord, help us to respect life,

Wrapped inside of loving hearts,
Is found gentleness and care.
It wants God's will to be done
And good acts it wants to bear.

Understanding is also
Found wrapped there with love and care;
Joy found inside of such hearts,
A Hundred-fold there does bear.

Loving hearts find comfort in
Living out God's holy will.
Found wrapped inside loving hearts
won't be hate that makes us ill.

God wants us to be happy
And show love for everyone;
He sent Jesus as Savior,
His only beloved Son.

God gave us his Commandments
To help us to know his way;
Following the Light of Christ,
Bright will be the darkest day.

God wants us there in heaven.
His ways, we all need to heed.
We need faith and trust in God,
His laws, much, we all do need.
When your smiles carom the stars,
It is quite a sight to see;
Causing them to spin around,
What a sight of rare beauty.

The heavens are in splendor,
When your smiles' light there is seen;
You are a special angel,
So much to me, dear, you mean.

Let the heavens have their stars,
Dear, what I want is your love;
It is welcomed in my heart,
You sure are thought highly of.

When your smiles carom the stars,
It's a sight spectacular.
