Mother Seaton
I will never leave the mountain and the valley down below
Mother Seaton spoke these words almost two hundred years ago
Although her soul is now in heaven higher than the sky above
Her spirit remains upon the mountain by the glory of God's love
She still walks along those sacred paths amid the beauty of the trees
She's ever present in Mary's garden where she prayed on bended knees
You can feel her presence near you on a gentle summer breeze
Or beside you in the autumn as she walks on crimson leaves
You can even hear her footsteps crunch the fallen winter snow
She's there among the flowers in spring when they begin to grow
God found in her saintly favor to let her spirit walk this land
To be the keeper of Mary's Garden, there in Emmitsburg Maryland...
Mary's Garden
In Maryland you can find Our Lady's Grotto
She chose Emmiitsburg to be this special place
You can find a piece of Heaven in Her Garden
Where She welcomes those of every creed and race
I walked those sacred grounds in Mary's Garden
Where holy feet before me once had tread
I was admiring the beauty of the valley
And the hills where Mother Seton had been led
When all at once I caught the scent of roses
I looked around and found no roses there
I felt the presence of our Blessed Mother
I knelt and bowed my head in silent prayer
Dear Mary, as you know I am a sinner
I find I'm so unworthy kneeling here
With outreached arms I felt Her love surround me
The peace I felt had washed away my fear
Multitudes of people come upon the mountain
And never felt Her presence as they leave
For those of us who have smelled the roses
Her presence was never doubted, we believe
When you're burdened with life's many troubles
And you can't find the answer anywhere
Come and leave your worries in Mary's Garden
There's a miracle that's waiting for you there...
Miracle of the Sun
On a chilled November afternoon, the year was nineteen ninety-three
A miracle happened at the Grotto, faithful gathered there would see
The golden sun turned blue that day, it started throbbing like a heart
Around it rays of red and white, we thought soon would burst apart
Crystals danced around the sun as it divided into three
I'm sure Our Lady had shown to us the Blessed Trinity
In the Corpus Christi Chapel, people came to bend a knee
This miracle brought all together there to pray the rosary
I thanked Our Mother Mary for what was shown to us that day
And for giving us this garden where we can meditate and pray
For all who happened there that day to see the miracle of the sun
The Blessed Mother wants us to tell the world what she had done
The breezes from this Holy Grotto will keep our faith forever fanned
As we're drawn back to Mary's Garden in Emmitsburg, Maryland...
Mother Teresa
You chose to walk the path in life, among the poorest of the poor
The endless days you gave to them, few people could endure
God blessed you giving you the strength to live among the pain
You gave dignity to the dying, never seeking earthly gain
You cleansed the skin of lepers and bathed those with HIV
You were the candle in the darkness for all who sought your charity
Searching the gutters of Calcutta, you found the needy there each day
Some you had nursed back to health, some God chose to take away
You cradled dying children, wiping tears when they would cry
I'm sure your heart was broken as you watched these angels die
I know that God smiled down on you as he listened to each prayer
Knowing you'd never turn your back on anyone who sought your care
You chose to live this saintly life, it was destined from your birth
Your star shines bright in Heaven now for the works you did on earth
As you take your place among the saints in your heavenly home above
Please pray for us that we learn from you to give the gift of love...
THE CHRISTMAS SAVIOR
In Bethlehem, The Christmas Savior was born two thousand years ago
God had sent His Son from heaven, He came to save the earth below
He didn't want the wealth and splendor given to the earthly Kings
He would choose a humble manger, knowing what his life would bring
Shepherds gathered round the Baby, the wind was calm, the night air chilled
They knew at last their prayers were answered, the prophecies had been fulfilled
One star shone bright among the others on that silent, holy night
The wise men would be safely guided by The Christmas Savior's light
Mary and Her husband Joseph knelt so closely by His side
Not knowing that their tiny Baby one day would be crucified
Let earth receive The Christmas Savior, angel choirs began to sing
The Prince Of Peace has come to save us, Glory to the new born King
Sound the trumpets, wake the people, it's time to celebrate His birth
Pass the word throughout all nations, Merry Christmas, Peace on Earth...
