Prayer to Jesus: Author of Life

Prayer to Jesus, Author of Life

(a pro-life prayer)

by: John B. Juat

Oh dear Jesus, author of grace

Lead us in this battle we face

Strengthen our hearts and guide our ways

To make this country a better place

Open our eyes that we may see clearly

How important it is to protect the family

If it is degraded, we destroy society

As well as the hope of progress in our country

Open our ears that we may hear

Your word which takes away our fear

Make us realize that You are always here

Inspire us to protect the values we hold so dear

Open our mouths that we may speak

The truth to those who are confused and sick

Make us humble and make us meek

Until we achieve the goal we tirelessly seek

Oh loving Jesus, Prince of Light

Be with us as we continue this fight

To give the innocent unborn their basic right

With Your help, we will work with greater might

Make us persevering in fighting this bill

As we fully believe this is not Your will

No time to be silent, no time to stay still

For it is Your people, too, they secretly kill

Oh Jesus, come into our hearts and stay

And let Your presence show us the way

For this bill not to be passed, we earnestly pray

Because it will lead a lot of people astray

Oh Holy Spirit, the Paraclete

Be our strength; make us stand on our feet

There is no turning back, there is no retreat

Because with You, Lord, there is no defeat

AMEN
