Mother Of Christmas

By Paul McCann

Mother Of Christmas how happy we are 

to follow the light of that shinning star  .

Mother Of Christmas how precious the sight

In Bethlehem on that first Christmas night .

Mother Of Christmas in this modern age    

we hold the book and read from the same page .

Mother Of Christmas the story is told 

and appreciated by young and old .

Mother Of Christmas a heavenly light shone down  

and guided the shepherds that night .

Mother Of Christmas the angels took flight 

and remained there with you all through the night ,

Mother Of Christmas when heavens peace fell

 it landed there upon Emmanuel .

Mother Of Christmas we think of that night

 and suddenly everything seems so right  .

Mother Of Christmas throughout all of time

 nothing can compare to that night divine .

Mother of the sunrise as we open our eyes

may we have the vision to make right decisions .

To leave things that are gone in the clear light of dawn ‘

Mother of the sunrise there is no confusion ,

you are  real and not some illusion .

Mother of the sunrise you are there every day

In our thoughts and our words as we begin to pray .

Mother of the sunrise how blessed is the light

That shines down on us here to show us what is right  .

Mother of the sunrise the dark night it has gone

And now I see the hope that helps me carry on .

Mother of understanding I would gladly give ,

Each hour of each day and every moment I live

Because you have shown me by your heavenly power

an understanding of just who you really are   .

to answer me and to tell me that you’re always there

 because you understand everything and you care  .

Mother of understanding some have done me wrong

and have harmed me and made me feel I don’t belong

there are so many things

 that are pulling me down ,

I can’t seem to get on my feet .

Give me the ability to turn things around    .

bring to the hungry to your door and give them a feast ,

Bring the wealthy an understanding  , 

Of how the greatest things are often the least .

   

Mother of divine providence

I have nothing at all and call for help each day

with bills overdue and debts old and new

and all of the things that I have to pay  .

Mother of divine providence I beg of thee

and plea upon my bended knee

for assistance in my poverty

and your alliance against my enemy .

Mother of sweetness wherever I go

There  is something that I need you to know  .

In all of the bitterness I can taste

victory in all the things that I face .

Mother of sweetness I ask one again

repel the darkness and ignite the flame  ,

with the spark of life and the light of love

may your love shine down from heaven above  . 

Mother of sweetness its such a disgrace

The distasteful things that I have to face .

All that I ask  is that you would reclaim

the truth behind lies in Jesus’ name  .

Mother of sweetness whenever I feel

All of the hurt that is so hard to heal ,

Shield me from feeling I’m unprotected   ,

and defend me from feeling rejected   .

Mother of sweetness bring a change in me ,

With understanding of how things should be .

The emotions turning me upside down

the feelings that me keep spinning me around .

Mother of sweetness when I’m effected

By things that can be somehow infected  ,

Cleanse me and keep me a whole human being

the best I can be in all I’m seeing .
