Lyrics:
1. O Mary, when our God chose you
to bring His dear Son to birth,
a new creation made in you
gave joy to all the earth
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
a new creation made in you
gave joy to all the earth.
2. When he was born on Christmas night
and music made the rafters ring,
the stars were dancing with delight;
now all God's children sing
3. One winter's night, a heap of straw
becomes a place where ages meet
when kings came knocking at the door
and kneeling at your feet.
4. In you, our God confounds the strong
and makes the struggling dance with joy
and to our barren world belong
his mother and her boy.
5. In empty streets and broken hearts
you call to mind what he has done;
where all his loving kindness starts
in sending you a son.
6. And Mary, while we stand with you,
may once again his Spirit come,
and all his people follow you
to reach our Father's home.
