Mary's Arms
Mary's arms carried water
They cooked and cleaned, did all the things
Of a Nazarene poor man's daughter
Mary's arms held no other
And then an angel came and said, "Be not afraid
You're gonna be the Savior's mother"
Soon in Bethlehem he came
And all the angels sang
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the lowest of lows
She's holding the baby, the Messiah
The promise the prophets made long ago
Son of God, God in man
The very one who holds the whole world in his hands
In Mary's arms
Mary's arms held the author
Of the words in red, the broken bread
And the wine from the water
The Holy Ghost, Son, and Father
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the lowest of lows
She's holding the baby, the Messiah
The promise the prophets made long ago
Son of God, God in man
The very one who holds the whole world in his hands
In Mary's arms
In Mary's arms
Son of God, God in man
The very one who holds the whole world in his hands
There in Mary's arms
In Mary's arms
They cooked and cleaned, did all the things
Of a Nazarene poor man's daughter
Mary's arms held no other
And then an angel came and said, "Be not afraid
You're gonna be the Savior's mother"
Soon in Bethlehem he came
And all the angels sang
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the lowest of lows
She's holding the baby, the Messiah
The promise the prophets made long ago
Son of God, God in man
The very one who holds the whole world in his hands
In Mary's arms
Mary's arms held the author
Of the words in red, the broken bread
And the wine from the water
The Holy Ghost, Son, and Father
Glory to God in the highest
Glory to God in the lowest of lows
She's holding the baby, the Messiah
The promise the prophets made long ago
Son of God, God in man
The very one who holds the whole world in his hands
In Mary's arms
In Mary's arms
Son of God, God in man
The very one who holds the whole world in his hands
There in Mary's arms
In Mary's arms
