CHILD OF MARY

 

Words and music by Mary Rose Jensen

 

Bb     F                 Bb           F  

As a babe was born in Bethlehem,      

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
