MARY MARY
written by Donna (Ensign) Woods
Mary, Mary
Who is this Child you carry ?
The Baby that you hold...
The Word of God foretold.
As you wrapped Him with loving care
In the stench of stable air....
No pillow for His head
As you placed Him in a manger bed....
Did you hear angelic host..
When you needed strength the most ??
Mary, Mary,
Who is this Child you carry ?
When the shepherds came that night
To gaze upon miracle's sight
What went through your mind?
Did you know salvation was now defined ??
Who is He ??
Who shepherds hurried to see ?
Did you know He'd bear the cross ....for humanity ??
Your precious first born Son
.....Did you feel blessed to be the chosen one ?
This Child who nestled in your arm
The one you'd shield from harm...
Did you know He actually came to save you....
...........And all of us too ???
Mary, Mary
Who is this Child you carry ?
Did you see His Eastern Star
That guided Wise Men from afar ?
Who is this Child you hold
Receiving incense , myrrh.....and gold?
As the Magi worshiped your baby boy
...Was your heart filled with anxious joy ?
Did you ever question or doubt
Or in fear and anger cry out ???
King Herod feared Him and sought to destroy
......Your precious baby boy.
What did you think when Joseph said "we must go"
In the back of your heart....did you somehow know.....
Did you understand the prophesy ?
God's plan for eternity.....
As you watched your child run and play......
Did you know what He would do one day ??
Mary, Mary
Did you know our cross....He would carry ?
What was it like to raise God's Holy Son?
Who held who.....when day was done ??
