Mother Of Alms

Mother Of Alms

By Paul McCann

Mother of alms

all the debts I owe I give to you

and pray that you would help me pay .

Mother of alms

remove the burden of others sharing

so that I can make my way .

Mother of alms

help me to carry the heavy load

of everything I have not paid .

Mother of alms

all these things I bring to you

with the hope that your help is not delayed  .
