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
