Maria, Mãe da Vida

Mary, mother of God, dear mother
Your yes brought us life and love
You gave birth to our Savior
Example of courage, fidelity to Heaven
Your path was difficult, but with faith
You followed Christ to Calvary
You stood without faltering
Before the wood where your son died
Mary come and give me your hand
Lead me to your Son who died on the cross
Teach me to trust and hope
Teach me to believe, teach me to want
Teach me to love
Teach me to walk with God

Mary, mother of life!
Mary, mother of love
Mary our mother
You are the mother of our Savior!

Mary, mother of all Christians
Help us in pain, in affliction
Mary hold my hand
Do not let me succumb
Teach me to be faithful
Teach me the way to the cross
Come, O mother, help me walk
If I falter, hold my hand
So I don't give up and reach the cross
For I know the cross is not the end
For on that cross your Son died for me
And out of love for us, He rose
Your Redeemer Son came to rescue all
And your love, O mother
Calms my heart
