  1. Lord God almighty, I be-seech Thee by the precious blood which Thy divine Son Jesus shed in His cruel scourging deliver the souls in purgatory and amongst them all especially that soul which is nearest to its enterance into Thy glory that so it may soon begin to praise and bless Thee forever. Amen.

  2. Gods minute
    I have only just a minute.
    Only sixty seconds in it.
    Forced upon me, cant refuse it.
    Didn't seek it, didn't choose it.
    But its up to me to use it.
    I must suffer if I lose it
    Give account if I abuse it
    Just a tiny little minute
    But Eternity is in it.
