Now Sings My Soul ‎#2

2. Mary, You're the Chosen One

1. Mary, you're the chosen one
to give birth to God's own son—
you, a humble Jewish girl;
he, the savior of the world.

Refrain
Oh, never fear, and never doubt!
Almighty God can bring about
the wondrous things he promised to you.
Someday they'll all come true.

2. Mary, you will be called blessed,
honored high above the rest.
Generations yet to come
will bow down before your son. (Refrain)

3. Mary, mothering this boy
will bring pain as well as joy.
Help prepare him to fulfill
God the Father's perfect will. (Refrain)

4. Mary, weeping at the cross
for the precious child you've lost,
be at peace and understand
that his death is in God's plan. (Refrain)
