Mother Of Sorrows, Mother of mine ,
Mother I ask for you to incline ,
Your attention to my prayers today ,
as I kneel before you everyday .
Mother of sorrows eternally,
I’m thankful that you listen to me .
When I am hurt and struck with pain ,
you’re always there to help me again .
Mother of sorrows , you know of loss ,
of having loved and paying the cost .
I pray heal the hurt deep in my heart ,
ask your son Jesus where do I start .
Mother of sorrows , I hurt within ,
Is it wrong to love , is it a sin ?
Should I even try to love at all ,
and risk being hurt and take the fall .
Mother of sorrows , I humbly pray ,
Help me to love and be loved today .
Knock down the barriers I’ve built up ,
If love’s a chalice please fill my cup .
Mother of sorrows ,
restore in me the confidence lost and let me see ,
Beyond the sorrow where I am free ,
To love and live and to be happy .
