Mary's Lullaby

[In addendum to my earlier post 'The Great Mystery', I wrote this song. 

"What was Mary thinking as she held Jesus in her arms?"]

Sleep baby sleep

I softly kiss your cheek

Dare I believe that this is the face of God I see

Sleep baby sleep

And tell me what you dream

In your mind's eye do you see both now and eternity?

Every time I hold your hands, every time you breath

I can hardly understand this awesome mystery

But even more mysterious is why God chose to be

Small and frail enough for me to hold him close to me

Sleep baby sleep

While in your face I seek

The face of my redeemer, the one to bring us peace

Sleep baby sleep

And hear this melody

But in my song do you hear the prayers of humanity?

Every time I hold your hands, every time you breath

I can hardly understand this awesome mystery

But even more mysterious is why God chose to be with us

This baby sleeping in the straw

Is the Great I am
