Every time I hear this song on the radio, I start to cry. It puts the whole Christmas story in such a wonderful perspective. I guess now that I am a mom, I can only imagine what Mary must have felt like that night she birthed her first baby. Not only her firstborn son, but THE KING-HER KING, who was born to save us all.

“Mary, Sweet Mary” by Selah with Plumb

Mary, sweet Mary, your heart overflows
Deep in the night, child, a babe is born.
Sacred and holy, blameless and pure,
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your child is born.

Mary, sweet Mary, so strong, yet so frail
Carried a baby sent to save the world.
Wise men will seek Him and find in Him
peace.
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your King is born.

Bridge:
All of the angels danced as heaven sang
All of the earth stood so still and so peacefully.

Mary, sweet Mary, God’s precious child
Blessed redemption is found in His eyes.
All creatures great and small,
He came for all.
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your Savior’s born . . .
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight our Savior is born . . .

Just had to share what was so special to me lately. Sorry, my blogging days are few at this moment….lots going on in Nickerson land. Don’t leave me, I’ll be back more in 09!

And a picture down memory lane since I am taking about “birth”. The night my baby boy was born.

Thank you Jesus for humbling yourself and coming to this earth as a baby to save me!
