I LOVE YOU JESUS
I love you Jesus in early morn
The lone goose calls her mate forlorn
Stars slowly fade in dawning light
As dark gives way to growing bright
I love you Jesus for Your trees, Your leaves
Your birdsongs borne on gentle breeze
The city rises from its nightly sleep
And I awake to promise keep
Heart fills with joy, my beads swing free
I speak the works in praise of Thee
Our Father Who art in Heaven
Hail Mary, Glory Be times seven
For it’s the dawn of new day
Another chance to You to pray
To show the love I have for You Because I know You love me too
You call me to You at noon
Your Body cannot come too soon
I’m taken by Your Holy Gift
My soul Your Body does uplift
And here I gather with Your friends
For my mistakes I make amends
Adore Your life, it’s warm embrace
Your pure Love lights my waiting face
My day complete I worship You
For You alone make prayers come true
Mother Mary and the Blessed Three
Lead me from sin and set me free.
