Mary Had a Little Lamb

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
(Thank YOU, LORD)

Mary had a Little LAMB, 
HIS fleece was white as snow!
HE came to take our sin away; 
The Bible tells me so!

Wise Men, followed HIM, to Bethlehem, one day,
From oh, so very far;
Bringing gifts for the Precious LAMB,
They were led by a Gloriously, Bright Star!

Mary, held her LAMB so lovingly;
She watched HIM grow so strong;
Always knowing HE was from GOD,
To the world, HE did belong!

Then, one day, Atonement came;
The LAMB's blood was spilt;
Mary cried for HIM so;
Her heart, that day did wilt!

But, the LAMB rose to dry her tears,
Sealing the fate of all,
If only, each, would just believe,
And, on HIS name they call!

Mary had a little LAMB,
The FATHER's Only SON!
The Way! The Truth! The Light of The World!
From the time it first begun!
