MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS

She was chosen before the worlds began
To be the mother of our beloved saviour dear,
The precious part of Heavenly Father’s plan.
I wonder in the spirit world, did she know fear?
Fear of the great calling placed upon her humble head,
Or was she calm and serene, full of God’s grace?
I wonder, did I know her? If so, I hope I quietly said,
Thank you dearest Mary, and saw a smile on her face.
I wonder how she marvelled at God’s almighty plan,
When on earth He made her the mother of His son?
Oh, what must she have felt when His life first began,
Then at the cruel cross when His life was done.
I know she was a good mother, one kind and true,
One for us to emulate, all our own lives through.
