EACH HOME A LITTLE CHAPEL

This song conveys the Vision of the Childrens' Rosary Foundation

I.
Each home a little chapel
Where Jesus Christ is Lord,
Where God ‑ Father, Son, and Spirit,
Each moment is adored.
Jesus is the reason
For all that's done and said,
And every thought, and word, and deed
Is by the Spirit led.

II.
Each home a little chapel
Where every child is blessed,
Where all is for God's glory
So each one gives his best.
Jesus is the Treasure
Filling every heart,
All are truly family,
Each one does his part.

III.
Each home a little chapel,
Where love forever reigns,
Where every prayer is with Mary,
The angels and the saints,
Make each home a little chapel,
Help every child to pray,
Guide each one to Jesus,
And on to Heaven someday.

HEAL US JESUS

Savior in each moment,
Jesus, Lord and God,
Be with us, we need you,
Help us truly feel your love.

Hurt‑filled memories of the past
Keep coming into view.
Pains that once had been
Break our hearts anew.

Chorus:

Heal us, Jesus,
You are Savior of us all.
Your love is what we need
To rise and stand tall.

Heal us, Jesus,
Hold us tightly by the hand.
Jesus, Lord and Savior,
With you, we live again!

Ailing bodies need your touch,
Jesus, make us whole,
Grant us healing of body,
Of heart, and mind, and soul.

Repeat Chorus

Coda:

Jesus Lord and Savior
With you, we live again!

BLESSING‑ May Jesus grant you all the healing that you need, and with his healing love, may you heal others, in his name.

SING GLORY!

Chorus (2x):
     Sing Glory to the Father,
     Glory to the Son,
     Glory to the Spirit,
     Sing GLORY everyone!

Put our hands together
Sing a song of praise,
Raise our voices loud and clear
To every land and race:
God so loves his people
He sent us his Son,
Now we can live forever
Share the vict'ry he has won.

Repeat Chorus (2x)

Go tell every nation,
Go tell everyone:
Jesus Christ is with us,
He brings peace to our land.
Fills us with his Spirit,
In him we are one,
Let's love one another,
Let our Father's will be done.

Repeat Chorus (2x)
