Mary's Child

MARY’S CHILD

Jerolyn Lockhart

 

This perfect child,
My baby,
So small,
So helpless,
So beautiful.

I can still hear
The angel speak.

“You have found favor with God.”

Of precious gift!
How can one such as I
Be so humbled,
Be so blessed!

“You shall name Him Jesus.”

Jesus,
Yeshua.
What a wonderful name,
A strong name,
A saving name.

“The Lord is Salvation”
Has been born unto me.

Blessed be the name of the Lord!

“He will be great and be called the
Son of the Most High.”

This lowly maidservant
Is now a mother,
Mother to the
Son of the Most High God.

“The Lord God will give Him
The throne of His father David”

My little babe - the promised King.
Born in a cattle stall,
Birthed to the lullaby of livestock,
Wrapped in simple cloths,
Welcomed by shepherds of the field.

“He will reign over the house of Jacob forever,
And His kingdom will have no end”

My son, my King,
My child, my Savior—
How do I nurture my Lord?
How can I mother my God?

And I remember,

“Do not be afraid, Mary—
For nothing will be impossible with God.”
