THE FATHER

The splendor of Your Majesty
reigns down from sea to sea,
from all that’s far away and near
on all, Your glory be.

All that You’ve made, was out of love
for man the beauty given,
so we can live within Your Grace
and take our place in heaven.

You gave us laws to follow
they are for our own good,
to imitate Your holiness
to love the way we should.

A loving Father always
You wait for us to choose,
the way to peace and happiness
Your Word our earthly clues.

We thank You for Your patience
for the beauty all around,
we thank You for Your endless love
that from infinity abounds.

HOLY SPIRIT

Oh Spirit of love
sweet piercing flame,
sent for God’s people
to all hearts to bring change.

You give sight to the blind
with new eyes do they see,
to the deaf You bring hearing
and pure love’s melody.

Hearts once like cold granite
burn tender and warm,
souls darkened by evil
in grief they do mourn.

For Your flame brings desire
from all sin to be free,
to live in Your joy
in sweet harmony.

Accepting and trusting
that what comes our way,
is meant to bring us all closer
to the Light and the Way.

Melt us sweet Spirit
with Your gifts ever fill,
mold us and use us
to live ever His Will.

PRAYER FOR POPE JOHN-PAUL 11

Oh Holy Father guide us
we need your helping hand,
to live the Way of Jesus
bring truth to all the land.

Without you we would be adrift
upon a tossing sea,
you steer us from the rocky shores
and from apostasy.

Mother Mary keep him safe
shield him with your mantle blue,
keep him nestled in your heart
your son in love so true.

He’s faithful to the Lord our God
and as years do take their toll,
support him with Your angels
and fortify his soul.

Our prayers increase for you each day
our love does grow and grow,
you spread faith and hope to everyone
God’s Love to all you show.

IN HIS GRACE

The day that I did come to be
His friend for all the world to see,
no longer someone far away
pure love within my heart to stay.

Free to live without a sin
His grace had come to dwell within,
and with His help, I can defeat
all evil that perchance I meet.

The Word was taken to my heart
stamped with His love to e’er impart,
desire to be one with Him
with Seraphim and Cherubim.

Then to share with all I meet
by word and action on life’s street,
for Jesus’ love can conquer all
and lift us up when e’er we fall.

For where He dwells, a holy place
the devil fears to show his face,
I’m not alone, He’s here in me
new life He gives, He’s set me free.
