CRADLED IN SUCH LOVING ARMS
CONTENTMENT BEAMS A RADIANT SMILE
NONE COULD FAIL TO CATCH THE CHARM
A MOTHER PICTURED WITH HER CHILD

AND DID SHE DREAM OF THINGS TO COME
YET SOMEHOW SENSE THAT SHE WOULD SEE
THE ANGUISH OF A PRECIOUS SON
LIFTED TO DIE UPON A TREE

SELFLESSLY SHE GAVE HER LOVE
TO SHOW THE WORLD A SAVIOUR’S LIGHT
EVEN THOUGH HER CHILD’S BLOOD
WOULD FLOW SO FREELY IN HER SIGHT

A WOMAN WITH A MOTHER’S HEART
TO SACRIFICE THE FATHER’S SON
FOR PURPOSES THAT WOULD IMPART
THE WORD OF GOD - ‘THY WILL BE DONE’
