Blessed Be Kateri
Words and Music by Mike Edward
with guitar accompaniment

Blessed be Kateri (1)
You took our prayers to God
And His response to our needs
Was to build this church for the Lord.

Because of you Kateri (2)
And all your thoughtful prayers
God made this humble home for us
To show us how much Jesus cares.

Oh, Blessed be Kateri (3)
You chose to serve Our King
And you gave your life to Our Lord
So today your praise we sing.

CHORUS

We thank you our Father in Heaven
For our Blessed Kateri's vision
And we thank You for this humble church on the hill
and the 25 years of her mission.

Oh We sing praises to God
We sing praises to Jesus
We sing praises to all of Your saints
And you brought us together on this glorious day
For Kateri has shown us the way.

Blessed be Kateri (4)
We thank Our Mother for you
Through the pain and through the trials
Our Day was there to greet you .

Blessed be Kateri (5)
You adored Our Blessed Mother
And in return she bestowed
A love for Jesus our Brother.

Oh Lily of the Mohawks (6)
Your life was short and sweet
And "Jesus I love You" were your last words
And the words we all need to repeat.

CHORUS

We thank you our Father in Heaven
For our Blessed Kateri's vision
and we thank You for this humble church on the hill
and the 25 years of her mission.

Oh, we sing praises to God
We sing praises to Jesus
We sing praises to all of Your saints
And you brought us together on this glorious day
For Kateri has shown us the way.

Oh Blessed be Kateri (7)
I remember that night long ago
And how could it be that we may have met?
Our Jesus and Mary must know.

Oh Lily of the Mohawks (8)
You've touched our lives for sure
And you know that we're hurt and some of us broken
Please send us Our Jesus' cure.

So dear Jesus and Dear Mother (9)
We ask on bended knee
That Kateri be placed among all of the Saints
For all of this world to see.

CHORUS

Oh yes, we thank you our Father in Heaven
For our Blessed Kateri's vision
And we thank You for this humble church on the hill
and the 25 years of her mission.

Oh, we sing praises to God
We sing praises to Jesus
We sing praises to all of Your saints
And you brought us together on this glorious day
For Kateri has shown us the way.

Oh yes, we thank you our Father in Heaven
For our Blessed Kateri's vision
And we thank You for this humble church on the hill
and the 25 years of her mission.
