#pray ... in the same manner as you would breath — both by second nature, and a little deeper as you consciously allow the action.
— Marisol B.

Inspired by the music of Anna Nalick's; "Breathe", with lyrics based on a pamphlet providentially found during a meditation before the Blessed Sacrament.


PRAY

Tell me all about them, whom you want me to help,

All the poor, all the sick, all who suffer from sin,

And I promise, to grant every prayer that’s heartfelt…..

 

Write a list of your wishes, the needs of your soul,

Tell me simply how proud and how selfish you are,

I can help you improve on this, little by little…..

 

Chorus:

Oh my child you don’t need much, in order to please me,

Speak to me like you would talk to a loved one,

Ask a great deal, I love generous hearts,

Those who know to give themselves……

 

And pray, just pray, whoa pray, just pray…..

 

Come and ask for the goods of your body and mind,

For your health, for your memory, for your success,

I can give every gift that would make your soul holy….

 

Where do you tend to fail, I will show you the cause,

Whom do you wish to see interested in your work,

Never fear; I can lead their hearts gently, where I please….

 

Chorus:

Oh my child you don’t need much, in order to please me,

Speak to me like you would talk to a loved one,

Ask a great deal, I love generous hearts,

Those who know to give themselves……

 

And pray, just pray, whoa pray, just pray…..

 

Who has pained, annoyed you; wounded your self-love,

Tell me all, and then say you forgive and forget,

And through all of this, I will sure give you my blessing…..

 

Do you dread something painful, is there a vague fear,

In your soul that torments you; no reason at all,

Trust me fully for, I am here, I will not leave you…..

 

Chorus:

Oh my child you don’t need much, in order to please me,

Speak to me like you would talk to a loved one,

Ask a great deal, I love generous hearts,

Those who know to give themselves……

 

And pray, just pray, whoa pray, just pray…..

 

Bridge:

Have you no thoughts of zeal for the souls of your friends,

Especially those that have come to forget me,

Your loved ones; or anyone I send your way,

What means do you wish to take……..

 

Do some friends have indifference or forgetfulness,

And you consciously did not seem to have hurt them,

Pray and I will return them if they are good for you….

 

Do you have little joys that have happened to you,

Do you thank me for them; I obtained them for you,

And a spirit of gratitude, gives me great pleasure……

 

Chorus:

Oh my child you don’t need much, in order to please me,

Speak to me like you would talk to a loved one,

Ask a great deal, I love generous hearts,

Those who know to give themselves……

 

And pray, just pray, whoa pray, just pray
