A prayer song asking for the intercession of our Spiritual Mother Mary, St. Joseph, Abba Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, also keeping in mind the fact that we need to become an earthly shadow of Jesus in our life.

Story behind the song
How blessed am I to have a Fearless Warrior by my side and the Mother of God on my other side. May the Holy Spirit be forever in my heart so that I can be an integral part of the truest Holy Family.
The song idea came to me as I was in the middle of consecrating myself to St. Joseph during the 150th anniversary of proclaiming him the patron saint of the Catholic Church. It follows the pattern of the original Memorare prayer to Mary, Our Spiritual Mother.
Lyrics
Memorare to the Holy Family
The Prayer (The Lyric)
REMEMBER O MOST GRACIOUS VIRGIN MARY
AND JOSEPH, PROTECTOR, OF MARY, AND JESUS
AND THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST.
WE AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
HAVE NEVER KNOWN THAT ANYONE
WHO FLED TO YOUR PROTECTION,
IMPLORED YOUR HELP,
OR SOUGHT YOUR INTERCESSION
WAS LEFT UNAIDED.
SO REMEMBER.., OH REMEMBER
INSPIRED BY THIS CONFIDENCE, TO BOTH I FLEE
VIRGIN OF VIRGINS, SPIRITUAL MOTHER,
AND HER CHASTE SPOUSE, MY SPIRITUAL FATHER.
TO THEE I DO COME
BEFORE THEE I STAND
SINFUL AND SORROWFUL.
I REMEMBER, OH I REMEMBER.
OH MOTHER OF THE WORD INCARNATE
AND JOSEPH OUR FATHERS EARTHLY SHADOW
REMEMBER MY HEARTFELT PLEAS AND
IN YOUR MERCY, HEAR AND ANSWER.
TO THEE I DO COME
BEFORE THEE I STAND
HOPEFUL AND GRATEFUL.
OH HEAR ME, ABBA FATHER
SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
I REMEMBER ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
WITH YOU (WITH YOU,
WITH YOU, WITH YOU, WITH YOU).
MAY YOUR WILL BE COMPLETED IN ME
WITH ME AND THROUGH ME,
AND LEST I FORGET HOLY FAMILY,
HELP ME BECOME AN EARTHLY SHADOW OF JESUS. AMEN
