Mary’s Prayer

Sleep baby Jesus, close Your weary eyes
Hide Yourself in faithful dreams before You live Your life
And 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
And 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 walked on water
Your eyes pierced the dark
And 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

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

And Your feet have walked on water
Your eyes have pierced the dark
And Your heart has saved the souls of men
Your hands now bear the scars
