Jesus Living in Mary is a classic Marian hymn that is popularly used during prayers for the Holy Rosary, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Peace, Notre Dame, Immaculate Conception, Guadalupe and Medjugorhe.

I like the reverent yet lively tone of this hymn. Not too long, not too short. It is the right length to feel a little break when saying long prayers. 

The lyrics are simple and easily understood. This song can work as a children's hymn yet will make a great choice as a congregation hymn for Marian liturgies. Most of all, it is easy to play on guitar as the chord progression is predictable.

The chord sheet is attached here, using A on capo 3.

Dan Vi's original lyrics:

CHORUS
Promise from heaven
That when I go there
I'll hold the rosary for Mother Virgin Mary
Heaven oi, heaven oi,
You touch my heart with the rosary.

VERSE
Mother Virgin Mary
You touch my heart with the rosary on earth
From Fatima promised
The treasure from heaven
For those who recite the rosary...

1 God, we praise you! God, we bless you!
God, we name you sov'reign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father, by your Church adored:
All creation shows your glory;
Heav'n and earth draw near your throne,
Singing, "Holy, holy, holy,
Lord of hosts and God alone!"

2 True apostles, faithful prophets,
Saints who set their world ablaze,

Hollow Ones

In their hollow shell of being
they have lost the art of seeing
gift of life that simply is.

In the absence of the Spirit
they are not disposed to hear it:
Word of God that says "just be".

Grows the lust of humankind.
Stuff to fill our empty minds.
It's the quest of Hollow Ones.

Hollow! Hollowed be thy name
when you're known by all your rivals...
