Ballad Of Mary's Son
It was in the Spring,
The Passover had come.
There was fasting in the streets and joy.
But an awful thing---
Men who knew not what they did
Killed Mary's Boy.
He was Mary's Son
And the Son of God was He---
Sent to bring the whole world joy.
There were some who could not hear,
And some were filled with fear--
So they built a Cross
For Mary's Boy.
To His Twelve Disciples
He gave them of his bread.
He gave them to drink of His wine.
This is my body
And this is my blood, He said.
My cross for you
Will be a sign.
He went into the garden
And he knelt there to pray.
He said, Oh, Lord, Thy will be done!
The soldiers came
And took my lord away.
They made a cross
For Mary's Son.
This is my body
And this is my blood!
His body and His blood divine!
He dies on the Cross
That my soul should not be lost.
His body and his blood
Redeem mine.
