Wonderful Mother Mary

Lyrics and music written by Katie Garibaldi ©2017 (ASCAP)

Lyrics

Open heart, open arms, you raise them up to the Lord
Fear is no match for the favor you have
And just like a bird, you sit on your perch
Awaiting the sunrise to open your wings up and fly

Wonderful Mother Mary, your faith is so strong
If I had just one ounce I’d be further along now
into the arms of God’s love
Your message is a testament to keep on keeping on
When no one cared to see, your heart believed
Wonderful Mother Mary

On bended knee you prayed for kindness from strangers
With a baby on the way but nowhere to stay
God gave the sky a star like a beacon
It shined so bright on that precious holy night

Wonderful Mother Mary, your faith is so strong
If I had just one ounce I’d be further along now
into the arms of God’s love
Your message is a testament to keep on keeping on
When no one cared to see, your heart believed
Wonderful Mother Mary

You carried Him till the very end, which was only when new life began
May God bless you for all you endured along the way with grace
You knew right when you saw His face that love should fill up every day

Wonderful Mother Mary, your faith is so strong
If I had just one ounce I’d be further along now
into the arms of God’s everlasting love
Your message is a testament to keep on keeping on and on and on
When no one cared to see, your heart still believed
Wonderful Mother Mary

When no one cared to see, your heart believed
Wonderful Mother Mary
