“Let It Be (Mary’s Song)” by Dave Martin

Mary sang a love song to her Jesus
Mary sang a love song, sweet and low
Mary sang a love song to her Jesus
Hallelujah, Amen.

Mary was no extraordinary child
She just gave her heart when called by the divine
And she nursed the little Lord, helpless in her arms
Said “I can’t keep you from your fate, but I can keep you warm”

She softly sang a love song to her Jesus
Mary sang a love song, sweet and low
Mary sang a love song to her Jesus
As the angels hummed along

Holy, holy, holy!  Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy!  Merciful and mighty,
God lies before us, sleeping silently

Soon they will call you blessed Immanuel
God is with us, I can see it all 
I am the servant of the lord
So Let it be, let it be, according to your Word

Mary sang a love song to her Jesus
Mary sang a love song, sweet and low
Mary sang a love song to her Jesus
Hallelujah, Amen.

Mary held her Jesus to her body
Mary gazed into his sleepy eyes
Mary said someday you will save the world
But right now, you’re only mine
