Prayers and Songs

Prayers and songs express our beliefs in an inspirational and exciting way. On this page I'll share some of my favorites.

Prayers

Morning Prayers

Loving Father, I offer you everything I do this day -- my thoughts, works, joys and sufferings. I desire to join my heart this day to the heart of your Son, who gave himself up totally to your service and to the service of others. Give me your Spirit so that I can live like him, joined to his offering in the Eucharist.

Dear Lord, I thank you for having especially called me to remind me to pray every day.

Being the busy person that I am, my demanding schedule has often caused me to take you for granted unintentionally.

But now I really want to devote to you this time because I love you and I need you in my life.

Thank you for granting me the privilege of spending this time with you.

Please quiet my heart, take away whatever burdens I now feel so I can abandon myself completely to you. Cleanse my heart so my prayers may be worthy of you.

Teach me how to pray so that my words will come from my heart.

Help me, too, to learn how to listen so that my mind and heart can hear your voice and understand your will. Amen.

The Road Ahead

My Lord God,

I have no idea where I am going.

I do not see the road ahead of me.

I cannot know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that

I think that I am following Your will

does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please You

does in fact please You.

And I hope that I have that desire in all

that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything

apart from that desire

And I know that if I do this,

You will lead me by the right road

though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust You always

though I may seem to be lost

and in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for You are ever with me

and You will never leave me

to face my perils alone.

Songs

Who Is Like the Lord

You’re all that I ever wanted

You’re all that I ever need

And though I wasn’t looking

You were after me

For Your love for me is eternal

And this I know is true

I could never repay the debt of love I owe to You.

Chorus:

For who is like the Lord my God?

Compassionate and full of mercy

Who compares to Your great love?

There’s none in all the earth

I will sing of Your love and grace

That covers all my guilt and shame

In all the earth, who is like the Lord?

How Great Is Your Love

No eye has seen

And no ear has heard

And no mind has ever conceived.

The glorious things

That You have prepared

For everyone who has believed.

You brought us near

And You called us Your own

And made us join heirs with Your son.

Chorus:

How high and how wide

How deep and how long

How sweet and how strong is Your love.

How lavish Your grace

How faithful Your ways

How great is Your love, O Lord.

Objects of mercy

Who should have known wrath

We're filled with unspeakable joy.

Riches of wisdom

Unsearchable wealth

And the wonder of knowing your voice.

You are our treasure

And our great reward

Our hope and our glorious King.
