Mary what of God did you know
That he should come to you,
To bear the baby of His being
What is it that you knew.
Mary how did your soul hold the wonder
Of the secret within your soul,
As you gave up your life
To the blessing of the child you bore.
Mary, did you
dream your tender one
Would grow to go
alone,
To leave your
loving nurture
And all that he
had known.
Could you dream
this precious son
Would trek far
from your care,
That your heart
would suffer
By the life that
He must bear.
Mary, how did you
let him go
When your mother
heart,
Wanted to hold Him
close
To protect Him from that desired path.
Mary, had you
dreamt this chosen one
Would walk upon
the water,
Feed a multitude
by prayer
And raise a rulers
daughter.
Did you imagine
your baby boy
A lonely way be
trod,
All the
misunderstanding to endure
As the perfect Son
of God.
Mary, what pain did you grieve
As they mocked and jeered,
Did you understand the betrayal
While the crowds loudly cheered.
Mary did you
comprehend the risk
How your heart
would break,
That you
would weep in agony
As He died for
your sake.
How much did you
know this beloved one
Was God's
sacrificial lamb,
As you bowed to
worship
Your Lord, as the
Great I Am.
