Petra - Mary's Song Lyrics
Hold that blanket closer Mary dearAll the world waits with you for your dayBut for now the wind is cold and it's drearAnd Bethlehem's still so far awayDo you remember the way you felt back then?Joy and wonder filled your soul and whenThe angel slipped awayYou knew your life would never be the same(Chorus)And now you're travelling, travelling on a road to BethlehemWandering thoughts fly awayIf you knew the road that lay ahead of HimWould you break down and cry?Your child is born to dieFeel that hand of strength upon your ownA husband's love that guides along the wayAnd as his understanding has grown,His hopes too are centered on that dayFor do you remember the way he looked back then,Pain and sorrow filled his eyes until whenThe angel came to sayThe Savior's birth was meant to be this wayThink back on that promise you receievedFor him in whom the prophets long believedNow belongs to you, you've been chosen tooBut He's the One Who's gonna shineWe call His name Jesus, ImmanuelHe'll save His people from sin and hellAnd of His kingdom there will be no end
