My Son

My name is Mary

Jesus was my Son

I carried him with special care

'Cause He was my first one

Wanted Him to be strong and healthy

Have a family of His own

The things a mother wants for her child

But in my heart I've always known

That he'd go with his Father

When the glass was out of sand

So please have patience with me Lord

Just a mother tryin' to understand

Why He had to carry that weight

With no one else's help

Why He had to be the one

That they could not be themselves

Chorus:

He was so many things

To so many people

my Son, my Son

Teacher, Prophet, Messiah and King

my Son, my Son

I tried to stop Him

You know I begged Him

Please don't go

He put His arms around me

And said mother I love you so

Now there's nothin' left but silence

And a weight that I can't bare

Please tell Him that I miss Him

And someday I'll see Him there

(Chorus)

But I remember a little boy

Whose laughter filled my world

In my life He'll always be

my Son, my Son

I felt nails deep in my hands

And pain in every breath

They took my Son away from me

And the angels said that I'd been blessed

So many things I wanted to say

my Son, my Son

Why'd it have to be this way

my Son, my Son
