One Night As I Lay Cold in my Bed

One night as I lay cold in my bed,
I was fill with all my fears,
I turned and said a prayer to Mary.
As I always did when I felt my tears

"Please help me, Mother Mary,
For I don't know what to do.
So I'm telling you about my sadness,
And I'm handing them all to you."

Then as I lay there in my bed
I saw in my mind without fear
Our Lady’s Most Divine love,
As She looked at me from Heaven above

She looked at me with sadness in Her eyes
As she reached her hand to my Heart,
I handed her my sadness,
And She took them to her Sacred Heart,

I felt the sadness leave me,
As She held me close to Her Heart
I looked at Her in wonder
As She smiled at me with love

Then my Heavenly Mother Mary
Opened wide her mantle blue,
She wrapped it all around me,
For protection, so true,

And though no words were spoken,
I could see into Mary’s Divine eyes,
From then on and after I knew,
That Mary hold me in Her Heart
