CHILD OF MARY
Words and music by Mary Rose Jensen
As
a babe was born in
In
a lowly, common place,
God
Himself had come in human flesh,
Jesus
Christ, our means of grace.
CHORUS:
Child
of Mary, yet the One True God,
By
this wondrous mystery
Jesus
came to save the dying,
Bringing joyful life and peace.
As
He grew, He was Emmanuel,
God with us, who knew our pain.
He
felt hunger, thirst and weariness,
But
though tempted, had no stain.
CHORUS
As
He died, His friends deserted Him
When He bore the cross alone.
Then
the humble child of Mary
Rose from death to heaven’s throne.
