As Mary rocks her baby boy
She's filled with sadness, filed with joy
She looks upon that tiny face
And sees the hope of every race.

Her heart is filled with a mother's glow
And she never wants to let him go.
She'll see him run and laugh and play
And long to keep him safe each day.

His life won't be an easy one,
His destiny hard, as God's own Son.

Mary sees the miracles he'll form,
The lepers healed and free from scorn.
The lame will walk, the blind will see.
She sees his love will set us free.

And then she sees him on a cross.
She feels his pain and fells our loss.
She knows his life must come to this.
She sheds a tear and gives a kiss.

His life won't be an easy one,
His destiny hard, as God's own Son.

So as Christmastime draws near
And we are all so "busy" here,
With shopping, baking, trees of green
Let's ask, what does this really mean?

Lets take a moment from the fuss,
And think of all their gifts to us;
A mother's love, a baby boy,
Peace and comfort, love and joy.

For he was born for everyone.
His destiny, God's only Son.
