Shining, She Appeared
Oh sweet Lady of Guadalupe
Queen of the Americas
Protector of the unborn
Continue to pray for us
To saintly Juan Diego
You appeared in surprising way
And left your message
True for then and today
To a humble indian worker
Your message to convey
Changing lives forever
That cold winter day
"Build a chapel you said
And change your ways
Trust in Gods healing
Sickness is healed today"
With flowers you painted
A lasting image so bright
So many on that day
Beheld this marvelous sight
Your image a gift
On simple cloak, the symbol
Of your love and care
Your message of love
Your eyes look out
With softness and strength
Reflect goodness and virtue
Bringing grace and peace
Changing continents forever
Reminding us of God above
You came to intercede for life
And share your Sons love
