Poetry
Mary standing in the starlight,
thinking about the Angel's words.
That she would soon become a mother,
The Child's Father would be the Lord.
She asked the Angel, "how can a virgin
Give birth to the King of Kings".
Did she know the child's footsteps
Would slowly lead to calvary?
Simon standing in the temple,
Waiting for God's promised Son.
Did he know of God's deliverance
And when he saw the Holy One,
Did his hands shake, did he know the leading
of God's child that special morn.
Did he see the cross and darkness,
Did he see the crown of thorns.
Did Mary clutch her newborn baby
to her breast and cry and pray,
Did she feel the sword's deep piercing
knowing her child was on the way.
Did she try to hold him closer
and keep Him in her loving care,
Did she try to keep and hold Him
from the path He'd surely bear.
(chorus)
To Calvary, the child's footsteps
slowly led from day to day.
Did Mary know that God would lead
her child to Golgotha's way.
