Song Description

Mary's first lullaby to her baby Jesus

Lyrics

Sleep little baby, my first born, my son,
This day is over, the evening's begun,
I thank my Lord God, Your Father for You,
You are my 'heaven on earth' dream come true,
Now, hush-a-bye
---with this lullaby--of love,

I cannot fathom what things will soon pass,
Now, that You've entered in this world, at last,
God's new salvation will soon be unfurled,
Light of my life You're the 'Light of the World',
Let dreams draw nigh
---------to this lullaby--of love,

Such a great mystery
down through all history,
How do I fit into this grand plan?
In my humility
how can my own son be
the Son of God---the Son of Man?

So many questions I've had from the start,
But, I just ponder these things in my heart,
Questions and myst'ries won't take from this joy
that I have found with my new baby boy,
All Heaven sighs
from it's starry skies---above
this holy night
----in a lullaby---of love,
