Lorraine Hess Sings Dear Jesus

(May 8, 2009) - Today I received the news from a friend, a former parishioner at St. Rita in Harahan, LA, that one of my songs was included in an debut album by an upstart Christian music recording artist out of New Orleans by the name of Lorraine Hess. Without thinking twice I made a run to the closest Religious Gift Shop in town to see/hear it for myself and it turned out to be true. Wow! The song was really there with my name on it and my insignificant Fro's Music Publishing. What a blessing and what an honor; at first I thought it was Celine Dion on the cover album (dreaming!); she looks just like her. Hehehe!

1
Dear Jesus, I love you
How I don't know
Please show me the way.

2
Dear Jesus, my Savior,
My friend, my Lord.
You're all that I want
And all that I need.

Refrain:
Take me with you, Oh Lord,
Carry me through
For in you, only in you
Can I find my peace.
Take me in your goodness, Lord
This I pray
Yes, in you, only in you,
Can I find my peace.

3
Dear Jesus, I love you
I come to you
Take good care of me.

4
Dear Jesus, I give you
My self, my soul -
All that I am and all that I'll be.

(Repeat Refrain twice)

Coda:
Dear Jesus, I thank you
And I love you!
