Bebo Norman - Mary's Prayer lyrics

rate me

Sleep baby Jesus

Close your weary eyes

Hide yourself in faithful dreams

Before you live yor life

Slip away to heaven

And rest in gentle peace

Never to awaken

The Lord your soul to keep

Chorus:

Cause your feet will walk on water

Your eye 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

Chorus:

'Cause your feet walk on water

Your eyes 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 men's denial

And though you now are breathless

With thorns upon your head

Your body has been broken

So your children can be fed

Chorus:

'Cause your feet have walked on water

Your eye have pierced the dark

Your heart as saved the souls of men

Your hands now bear the scars
