Mary Of Nazareth

As Mary lay upon her bed, She waited, deep in thought, With many questions left unsaid And truth the last resort... For she was pregnant without sin, Unwed yet God-blessed still, According to His plans to win Lost souls on Calvary's hill... It came to pass that Joseph's love Was tested by such news, Yet came a dream from God above That Mary he should choose... And so it was the two were spared, United in their faith, Because they knew the Father cared And meant to keep them safe... Thus Mary came to Bethlehem With Joseph at her side And shepherds ran to visit them And at Christ's manger cried, Because they knew the Lamb of God Would be God's sacrifice, One day to offer up His Blood, One day to pay the price... A prophet knows the future well, Thus Mary was foretold, Her son would have a tale to tell, The greatest story told... She must be strong for what must be, God's prophecies are true And when Christ died for all to see, Know this, Christ died for you... Yet Mary is remembered now By Christians on this Earth Because to God's will she would bow, In reverence to Christ's birth... Each Christmas and each Easter time, Her witness still lives on, With faith and grace hearts find sublime When saved by Christ, God's Son... Denis Martindale, copyright,19th December 2012.
