Mary's Song

I remember when I held you so close when you were just a babe:
The love that I felt during those moments I just cried, and prayed...
Your tiny hand reached and grabbed my little finger so tight--
It was as if you were saying "Everything is going to be all right..."

Jesus, I love You so much
Jesus, I love Your tender touch
Thank You Lord, thank You Lord
Thank You for Your love

I remember when I held you so close that day before you were betrayed:
The love that I felt during that moment I just cried, and prayed...
Then You reached out and grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes--
It was as if you were saying "Everything is going to be all right..."

Jesus, I love You so much
Jesus, I love Your tender touch
Thank You Lord, thank You Lord
Thank You for Your love

For days after after You went up into the heavens we waited:
All 120 of us did what you asked and we stayed, and we prayed...
Then You poured out Your Holy Spirit on all of us with fire--
It was Your way of saying "Everything is going to be all right..."

Jesus, I love You so much
Jesus, I love Your tender touch
Thank You Lord, thank You Lord
Thank You for Your love

Thank You for being with me, always
