Rain Of Roses

Saint Theresa little flower

during your short life on earth

you became a mirror of angelic purity

of love as strong as death

and wholehearted abandonment to God

now that you rejoice in your reward

turn your eyes of mercy upon me

for I so ardently desire

a rain of roses on

my head

a rain of roses at my hour of death

shower roses on my head

shower roses at my hour of death

obtain for me the need to keep

my heart and mind pure like your own

to receive the hoped

for graces

from the Lord's infinite Goodness

I put all my confidence in you

your "Little way" has reached me too

yes I implore your intercession

for I so ardently desire

a rain of roses on

my head

a rain of roses at my hour of death

shower roses on my head

shower roses at my hour of death

little by little I come to littleness

little by little to serve and love Him best

little by little I'm on your "Little way"

Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus

oh I so ardently desire

a rain of roses on my head

a rain of roses at my hour of death

shower roses on my head

shower roses shower roses

l like if I'm
