T.30 To Our Lady of the Way

No one can live as an island,
Journeying through life alone.
Since we’re most loved by a mother,
Jesus gave us his own.

Chorus:
Be with us, Mary, along the way.
Guide every step we take.
Lead us to Jesus, your loving Son.
Come with us, Mary, come.

When Jesus met with rejection,
Mary stood by the cross.
How can a mother desert her son?
She’ll also stand by us.

Help us, O star of the ocean,
Be with us in our strife.
When we are faced with temptation,
Tossed by the storms of life.

Often enough in life’s banquet,
We shall run short of wine.
Then, as at Cana, request your Son
To make our lives divine.
