[Verse 1]
I walk your story in my mind
I slip into that day and dream away
I see the secret in the smile you wear
And the gift you hold inside
When most had lost all hope for
You held on
It was a clever costume He wore
To fool them all
[Chorus]
Oh Mary
Rock the baby close
Oh Mary
Love binds
The child is there
The kingdom in His eyes
Oh Mary
What a surprise
[Verse 2]
They want a king
The good that they had hoped for
Is what they had failed to see
It was a dream that you held anchored
The truth for you and me
[Chorus]
Oh Mary
Rock the baby close
Oh Mary
Love binds
The child is there
The kingdom in His eyes
Oh Mary
What a surprise
[Bridge]
I feel the wonder in your stare
There's a Christ-child laying there
Oh
[Chorus]
Oh Mary
Rock the baby close
Oh Mary
Love binds
The child is there
The kingdom in His eyes
Oh Mary
What a surprise
Oh Mary
Rock the baby close
The child is there
Oh Mary
What a surprise
