A Favor From the LORD

Barb Winters-Kelly, IC-Lansing

My heart is blessed 

with a favor of the Lord.

As I am awakened

to the Love of Mother Mary—


So deep in my heart 

Jesus you call me

From my dead of sleep

To Awaken.


O Holy Spirit,

You burn a fire within me

of a love and beauty deep,

but I cannot help but sing.


A song of words,

keep singing in the silence 

of the night,

I cannot slumber now,


Mary’s face draws me,

Her eyes invite.

She walks me toward Her Son,

My heart is pierced with love anew!


Her hands folded

so gently together.

Such humility 

radiates from her being!


The crown of flowers 

upon her head.

She is Our Queen,

Yet today on earth.


She is Queen of Heaven above

and she still serves—

She draws me 

In her love for all.


What a gift untold,

the beauty of her pure soul 

invites me to ask

for more grace—so I may grow in love of God.


God, my loving Father,

Jesus my Lord and Savior,

Holy Spirit of Love and Fire,

Blessed Mother, you intercede!


Upon the Serpent you tread

Only a human,

But with no fear!

It’s safe for me, her child to come near.


Such peace I see,

so gentle a Mother.

She stands to protect me

in my daily struggles.


Keep coming my child,

draw near to my heart,

from you I will never part.

To Jesus I led you to fall more in love.


The accents of gold

of her Queenship it speaks.

The softness that radiates,

Her presence I feel!


Come closer my child 

Allow Jesus to heal

all brokenness, all pain,

None is too great.


Life will unfold 

Do not tarry or wait

Come forth in God’s praise 

Be thankful today


Remember the love that 

comes forth from Three

The Will of the Father 

Follow and obey


My Son, Jesus will show you the way 

The Lamb that was slain 

for you and each one—

Redeems you and loves you 

My precious Son!
