A Mary Christmas

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
When Mary learned that she would be
The mother of God's Son
Because the Holy Spirit would see
To that it would be done!

Despite confusion since she was
A virgin who had not
Known any man that way because
Her love for God had brought

Her to the faith that pleased God much
And why He chose her for
The birth of One whose loving touch
Would heal and save and more!
