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.
