Mother of Hope

“MOTHER, STAY WITH ME”

When the night feels cold around me,

And I don't know where to go,

I whisper your name softly,

And somehow I feel hope.

You carried love through sorrow,

You stood beneath the cross,

With a heart that never stopped believing,

Even through the deepest loss.

When my faith is getting weaker,

When my heart forgets to pray,

Mother, lead me back to Jesus,

Guide my footsteps on the way.

Mother Mary, stay with me,

Be the light I cannot see.

When I fall, help me rise,

Hold my heart through darkest nights.

Mother Mary, pray for me,

Lead my soul where it should be.

Through every fear, through every tear,

Remind me that God's love is near.

You know the weight of silent tears,

You know a mother's heart,

You know the pain of letting go,

Yet you still trusted God's plan.

So when tomorrow scares me,

And I question what will be,

I'll remember your “yes” to God,

And let His will carry me.

When I feel I can't go further,

When my strength is almost gone,

Mother, whisper hope within me,

Tell my heart to carry on.

Mother Mary, stay with me,

Be the light I cannot see.

When I fall, help me rise,

Hold my heart through darkest nights.

Mother Mary, pray for me,

Lead my soul where it should be.

Through every fear, through every tear,

Remind me that God's love is near.

I don't ask for an easy journey,

I only ask for faith.

When I cannot see the future,

Help me trust God's grace.

And when my dreams feel far away,

When I don't know what to do,

I'll remember your faithful heart

And keep walking toward the truth.

Mother Mary, stay with me,

Walk beside me faithfully.

When the world feels dark and cold,

Let your prayers make my heart bold.

Mother Mary, pray for me,

Bring me closer to Jesus, please.

Every morning, every night,

Guide my heart toward God's light.

Mother Mary, hear my prayer…

Stay beside me everywhere.

Until the day I see His face,

Lead me home through God's grace.
