BLESSED IS SHE WHO BELIEVED
Luke 1:45
Words by Greg Mailloux
Music by Henry Boon
1. Amid the straw and
the dirt of the earth
Our Saviour chose the
place for His birth.
The kings and mighty were
not to be found;
Instead were want and
need all around.
The Baby Messiah was promised
of old;
His parents were poor
and homeless and cold.
But trust in God's Providence
was Mary's way;
Her Baby was warmed
by the beasts & the hay.
REFRAIN
Blessed is she who trusted in God.
Blessed is she, the Mother of God.
Blessed is she, and all of us too who believe
That God's Word will be true.
2. They fled to Egypt,
a terrible fright.
Warned in a dream, they
left in the night.
With nothing to eat, and
nowhere to stay,
The Refugees had nothing
left, but to pray.
And trust they did that
God would provide.
He met their needs, then
King Herod died.
And Mary watched as her
Baby grew.
She smiled when He said,
"I love you!" [R]
3. In Nazareth, Mary raised
her Son.
He soon was to die to
save everyone.
With Jesus she climbed
up to Calvary;
And there He suffered
and died willingly.
A sword of sorrow did
pierce her heart,
But trusting in Him, she
never did part.
When on the third day
He rose anew,
He said once again, "I
love you!" [R]
