Mary's Prayer Lyrics

Sleep baby Jesus
Close your weary eyes
Hide yourself in faithful dreams
Before you live your life
Slip away to heaven
And rest in gentle peace
Never to awaken
The lord your soul to keep
Cause your feet will walk on water
Your eyes will pierce the dark
Your heart will save the souls of men
Your hands will bear the scars

Sleep baby Jesus
For now your time has come
To heal the wounded leper
To calm the raging storm
With perfect steps of perfect grace
You leave behind your fear
And walk along these dusty roads
Though your fate is clear
Cause your feet will walk on water
Your eyes will pierce the dark
Your heart will save the souls of men
Your hands will bear the scars

Sleep baby Jesus
My father and my child
Beneath this broken cross of sin
Stained with mans denial
Though you now are breathless
With thorns upon your head
Your body has been broken
So your chosen can be fed
Cause your feet have walked on water
Your eyes have pierce the dark
Your heart have saved the souls of men
Your hands will bear the scars

Cause your feet they walked on water
Your eyes have pierced the dark
Your heart has saved the souls of man
Your hands now bear the scars
