Mā-ry (Matthew 1:18-25)

Frightened’s she. The truth’s with you, but wrong it seems.

Joe ne’er surmised that Mary’d sin

Or eschew this something ‘bout her health.

Was she off with someone else? A child will come.

Truly I thought that “wife” quite reaped what she might sow.

CHORUS:

Mā-ry, what you wanna do?

Christ’s in-side of Mary’s womb.

For Messi’h, wait no longer. It’s quite true!

Won’t you think your “wife” is right, sure wouldn’t lie,

All the things you thought she offered - would she try to hide?

You plan to leave? Stick here, ye would surely weather out the storm.

My, we’ll ever seek His light, though man is wrong.

Though we’re shook, we feel so wealthy.

(chorus)

How’s it done, this love? I won’t be mad, no way.

You’re called ta this through God. See, Joseph, pray you’re not afraid

Ta have Mary – as wife, oh Joe, with the Jew that gives ya peace.

Then this Son will bless. Joe sure his oath will keep.

Lord waits real long, but fills me.

(chorus)

My, she’s called ta give the crowning Son real soon.

Called ta give the crowning Son real soon.

Oh Joe, what ya wanna do?

My, she’s called ta give the crowning Son real soon.
