year year when I looked in the sky,
On March seventeenth ,then I could see,  
Many stars were do--ci -doing,
All throughout the whole galaxy.

Normally the stars above are,
Yellow, red, white, and blazing blue;
But it was on that St. Pat's night,
The green shamrocks were far from few.

It was a flabbergasting sight,
One that I will never forget;
So many stars spun like a top,
Each one beautiful, you bet!

In times when life seems perplexed,
And we see hope far from near:
By putting our trust in God,
Joys in life we'll see appear.

Life isn't always rosy,
Miserable at times it gets:
When things don't go as we want,
We might haul in empty nets.

God wants us to be happy,
Joys in life He'll help us find:
God wants us to be grateful,      
And to long for peace of mind.

Lead us to heaven, dear, Lord,
By us, there you'll be adored.

Let God Come In Our Hearts
God wants to help us in hard times,
As well as the easy ones too:
Let us let God work in our lives,
And to him let us remain true.

Let's strive for lives of holiness,
Saints these lives will help us become,
God wants us to enter heaven,
A place of joy where there's no glum.

Help us Lord in search of wisdom,
Help us find it abundantly:
Show us how we're to be patient,
Humble dear Lord, help us to be.

Help us in life's hard times dear Lord,
Touch our hearts so they are restored.

Lord, it was on Good Friday,
For us you were crucified:
To show how much you love us,
On Calvary there you died.

When crosses are hard to bear
Our lives Lord will you then touch?
Lord, then help carry the weight,
And to us it will mean much.

When we find life burdensome,
Others help us to think of.
Give us the strength and courage,
So we can give them our love.

Help us with life's crosses, Lord
Lead us to heaven's reward.

When I find life burdensome,
Help me Lord to turn to you:
Dear Lord, give to me your wisdom,
Help me know what I should do.      

Lord, help me to realize,
The depth of your love for me:
Give me what I'm in need of,
Bestow on me your mercy.

Dear Lord, infuse in my heart,
Your tranquility and peace:
Joys in my life have abound,
Have them increase and not cease.

Lord, make each day much brighter,
And make my burdens lighter,

Show me, dear, Blessed Mother,
How like Jesus I can be;
Help me put my trust in God,
God's calling, please help me see.

Close to Jesus, dear Mother,
Everyday help me to be;            
Ask your dear , beloved Son,
To bestow mercy on me.

While you lived upon the earth,
Your heart  with wisdom, God filled;
Help my heart to be open,
So God's wisdom, there's instilled.            

Please, help me  be attentive,
To how God wants me to live.

Lilacs are real sweet flowers,
In lavender, white and blue.
There are some other colors.
These three will often do.

When I am in their presence,
There's a touch of paradise.
They're renowned for their beauty,
And their sweetness that bees prize.

Lilacs have real small flowers.
Their sweetness makes up for size.
For sweetness they're world-renowned,
When their fragrance fills the skies.

When lilacs are in full bloom,
The air is full of sweet perfume.
