Song Lyrics

"Mary s Song"

by Petra
Album: Never Say Die / Washes Whiter Than

Words and music: Rob Frazier

Pull that blanket closer, Mary dear
All the world waits with you for your day
But for now the wind is cold and it's drear
And Bethlehem's still so far away
Do you remember the way you felt back then'
Joy and wonder filled your soul
And when the angel slipped away
You knew your life would never be the same

But now you're traveling, traveling
On a road to Bethlehem
Wandering thoughts fly away
If you knew the road that lay ahead of Him
Would you break down and cry'
Your Child is born to die

Feel that hand of strength upon your own
A husband's love that guides along the way
And as his understanding has grown
His hopes are centered on that day
For do you remember the way he looked back then'
Pain and sorrow filled his eyes
Till when the angel came to say
The Saviour's birth was meant to be this way

Think back on that promise you've received
For He in whom the prophets long believed
Now belongs to you, you've been chosen too
But He's the one who's gonna shine
Call His name Jesus, Emmanuel
He'll save this people from sin and hell
And of His kingdom there will be no end
