SONG OF MARY

SONG OF MARY

Mary's heart was holy,

her soul was full of grace.

Mary could make heaven

out of any place.

So the eager angels

saw without surprise

Mary turn a stable

into paradise.

Mary made a cradle

from a pile of hay

and filled a stall with sweetness -

so the shepherds say.

Mary's eyes were April,

her hair was summer gold;

Jesus looking up at her

forgot the dark and cold.

Mary through the ages

has not lost her art

she can make a home for Him

even in my heart.
