Mary Sullivan

Give us wisdom, Lord of mercy.

Confused we are by many things.

Instruct us through our days and nights.

Shelter us beneath your wings.

In You, O Lord, we are at rest.

To our minds, the truth You bring.

Our hearts rejoice with thoughts of You.

You keep us safe beneath Your wings.

You are our mighty fortress, Lord.

Our King above all earthly Kings.

Your strong pinions cover us,

Secure we are beneath Your wings.

Give wisdom to our loved ones, Lord.

Confused they are by worldly things.

Instruct them in the way of truth.

Protect them Lord, beneath Your wings.

May loved ones turn to You, dear Lord,

And seek You as their only King,

May they ever seek Your will,

And find shelter beneath Your wings.

Our Lady of the Rosary, our true and loving Queen,

You see from heaven many things, which to us are unseen.

To the weapon of your rosary, may we in haste now run.

For through the holy Rosary, this battle can be won.

There’s a battle waging, Mary.  It’s not fought with swords and guns.

It’s a battle for the human soul.  At times we feel out-done.

Yet with your holy rosary, as we lift our prayers to you,

You can crush the enemy.  We trust that is what you will do.

Our Lady of the Rosary, we ask of you this day.

Make haste now to our loved ones.  Keep all evil at bay.

Touch their hearts now, Mary.  As our rosaries we pray.

Bring them back to Jesus; back to His love today.

Jesus came to a town.  The town was known as Nain.

His disciples and a large crowd, journeyed there, the same.

As He drew near the city gate, a dead man was carried through.

This man’s mother was a widow.  He was the only son she knew.

The widow had been crying, at the gate of the city,

But Jesus told her not to weep.  His heart was moved with pity.

He stepped forward, touched the coffin.  At this the bearers stopped.

Jesus told the son Arise! All must have been in shock.

For the dead son had sat up.  And he began to speak.

God Himself had visited. Now things no more seemed bleak.

Through Judea to surrounding regions, reports of this would spread.

This once dead son was now alive.  Jesus raised him from the dead.

Lord, our loved ones may be breathing.  In body they’re alive.

But their souls have been attacked.  Their souls no longer thrive.

Go to them now, dear Jesus.  Bring dead spirits back to life.

Heal them of every error, in this world immersed in strife.

Go to them now Lord Jesus.  Go now without delay.

Heal them with Your truth and love.  To truth, point out the way.

Open up their hearts, dear Lord, that they may clearly see,

The way to healing of their souls is through new life in Thee.

“…The Advocate, the Holy Spirit Whom the Father will send in my name—He will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.”  [John 14:26]

Father in heaven, we beg You, send to each one now
The Holy Spirit’s peace and all of His power.
Send Him with His wisdom, send Him with His love,
Send Him now to all of us, with grace from above.

He will teach us everything, remind us what we were told,
In the Scriptures by our Lord, in days gone by of old.
Father we ask You now, in the name of Christ, Your Son,
Send us Your Holy Spirit, that heaven’s race we may run.

Send the Holy Spirit, Father, to those whom we love too.
Send to them true wisdom, that Your will they may do.
We ask this now, dear Father; it’s Your will we adore.
We turn to You, our Father, In the name of Christ, our loving Lord.

We need You Holy Spirit.  Guide us on our way.
Our loved ones need You too, that they no more may stray.
With fervent hearts we’re pleading Father. You are the only One,
Who can send the Holy Spirit, That Your will on earth be done.

“…Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”  (Luke 9:58)

Lord, make my heart a nest of love,

A nest of love for You.

That You may come and dwell therein,

Today and each day through.

Make my heart a nest for love.

A love where truth will shine.

Make of my heart a nest for You.

For You, may my heart pine.

Lord, make my heart a nest for You.

A place where You find rest.

Make my heart like unto thine.

Take my heart as Your nest.

Chaos in this world today.

Yet, you make my soul still.

Come and rest in my heart, Lord,

As I rest in Your will.

Grant me grace to love You, Lord.

May my love for You now shine,

As light for what is good and true.

Make my human heart divine.

I give You now all that I have.

Make my love ever true.

May my heart be Your dwelling place.

May my heart be a nest for You.
