Luke, Chapter 1

Mary was barely a woman,
a fair maiden in her teens.
Betrothed to a man working wood with his hands,
She would be happy behind the scenes.
An angel named Gabriel met her,
Announcing the heavenly news,
She would have a baby boy to bring the world joy.
He would be the King of Jews.

And Blessed is she who believed that there could be
Fulfillment of the word of the Lord.
Blessed is she who believed that there could be
Fulfillment of the word of the Lord.

The couple set out for Judea.
What a trip it must have been.
Mary in bloom they could not find a room
But in a stable the baby came in.
The child was destined for greatness
And shepherds and kings came to see.
But Herod saw red and the family fled.
From the desert the son came to be.

The child she bore was admired 
and crowds of people followed him around.
They waited for guidance but in their defiance,
they led him away fully bound.
She offered no doubts of her question.
She let this be done through His will.
She offered no help or suggestion.
She just kept quiet and still,
And watching her son at a distance.

Knowing she could not defend,
She suffered his loss 
and was there at the cross and stayed
with Him until the end.
Now Jesus is risen in glory.
His second coming we await.
he child of her womb has defeated the tomb
Now we all share his new estate.
