Be Born In Me



Be Born in Me

Everything inside me cries for order
Everything inside me wants to hide
Is this shadow an angel or a warrior?
If God is pleased with me, 
why am I so terrified?

Someone tell me I am only dreaming
Somehow help me see with Heaven's eyes
And before my head agrees, 
my heart is on it's knees
Holy is He. Blessed am I.

Be born in me, be born in me
Trembling heart, 
somehow I believe that You chose me
I'll hold you in the beginning,
 You will hold me in the end
Every moment in the middle, 
make my heart your Bethlehem
Be born in me.

All this time we've waited for the promise
All this time You've waited for my arms
Did Your wrap yourself inside the unexpected
So we might know that 
Love would go that far?

Be born in me, be born in me
Trembling heart, 
somehow I believe that You chose me
I'll hold you in the beginning, 
You will hold me in the end
Every moment in the middle, 
make my heart Your Bethlehem
Be born in me.

I am not brave
I will never be
The only thing my heart 
can offer is a vacancy
I'm just a girl.
Nothing more
But I am willing, I am Yours

Be born in me, be born in me
I'll hold you in the beginning, 
You will hole me in the end
Every moment in the middle, 
make my heart your Bethlehem
Be born in me.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry,
show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.



Through Mary the cause of our joy you discover
that no where on earth are you more welcomed,
no where on earth are you more loved,
than by Jesus, living and truly present
in the Most Blessed Sacrament...
He is really there in Person
waiting just for you.

We Adore





“O God, we believe You are here.  We adore You and love You with our whole heart and soul because You are most worthy of all our love. We desire to love You as the Blessed do in Heaven... Flood our souls with Your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being utterly, that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours.  Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with may feel Your presence in our soul.   Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus!”

Faith isn't the ability to believe long
and far into the misty future.
It's simply taking
God at His Word
and taking the next step.

Quotes - Faith

"Prayer is an act of faith. Just by praying to God, you are declaring our trust in someone other than yourself. Your faith is increased as you pray and watch how God answers your prayers. God says in Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know. God is awesome in power and there is never a time when He is not beside you. He is faithful and holy."

Trials and Opportunities

 "God allows us to face difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer."

Danielle Rose - The Saint That is Just Me





The Saint that Is Just Me

Oh I thought I'd be heroic and inspiring
I wanted to offer You the greatest sacrifice
Like all the Saints who've gone before me
I tried to prove my love for You and so to gain the prize
I thought I'd be a martyr like Cecilia
I hoped I'd disappear like St. Therese.
Or wear a hidden crown of thorns like Rose of Lima
To heal the sick and raise the dead.
When You hung upon the Cross looking at me
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else,
You died so I could be, the saint that is just me.

I wanted to be poor and free like Francis,
To cut off my long hair like lovely Clare.
To be faithful like Mother Teresa in the darkness
Lord, won't you make me just like her?
I tried to kneel for hours in the Chapel corner
To persevere like Paul with all my sleepless nights
To stay awake and trim my lamp with ten wise virgins,
To really give the devil a good fight.
When you hung upon the Cross looking at me
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else,
You died so I could be, the saint that is just me.
Just me, Just me.
You died just for me.
just me, just me
You died just for me.
You saw that  I was perfectly imperfect
O happy fault the sin of Adam's pride
That's the reason that you became man
and bore the New eve from your wounded side
If it weren't for my sins and wounds and weakness,
Then you wouldn't have married me upon the Cross
Why do I fear being seen naked and broken?
That's why you came  because I need you that much.
When you hung upon the Cross looking at me
You didn't die so I would try to be somebody else,
You died so I could be, the saint that is just me.
 
The song was written and performed by Danielle Rose.
 
This is probably Danielle Rose's most beautiful, most heart-felt song yet written. 
After living at the Convent of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ in Prayertown, Texas
for nearly three years, Danielle Rose discerned that Jesus is calling her to a vocation other than the Religious Life.
 She is now back on the road, fulfilling God's call to praise Him through her music.
