CHILD OF MARY
Words and music by Mary Rose Jensen
Bb F Bb F
As
a babe was born in
Bb F C C7
In
a lowly, common place,
Dm Bb F
God
Himself had come in human flesh,
Bb F Am/C C7 F
Jesus
Christ, our means of grace.
CHORUS:
F C/E Dm Bb F C
Child
of Mary, yet the One True God,
F C/E Dm Bb Csus C
By
this wondrous mystery
C7 D Bb F
Jesus
came to save the dying,
Bb F Am/C C7 F
Bringing joyful life and peace.
Bb F Bb F
As
He grew, He was Emmanuel,
Bb F C C7
God with us, who knew our pain.
Dm Bb F
He
felt hunger, thirst and weariness,
Bb F Am/C C7 F
But
though tempted, had no stain.
CHORUS
Bb F Bb F
As
He died, His friends deserted Him
Bb F C C7
When He bore the cross alone.
Dm Bb F
Then
the humble child of Mary
Bb F Am/C C7 F
Rose from death to heaven’s throne.
CHORUS
