Son Of Mary Song Lyrics
Son Of Mary by Cat Stevens Mary, Mary, don't you weep
Angels guard you while you sleep
Mary, Mary, don't you cry
God will grant you a faultless child
Now, for a while she fled away
Beneath the palms she hid
When she returned they saw the child
But doubted what she said
They would have stoned her there and then
But for a strange event
The baby spoke, that made the folk
Believe her innocent
Mary, Mary, don't you fear
Angels guide you everywhere
Mary, Mary, don't be afraid
God will bless you
And show him the way
Now, time moved the heavens
Through the Spirit he did grow
The books of law and wisdom
God taught him to know
He healed the sick and cured the hearts
Gave sight to the blind
By God's decree he raised the dead
Though many still denied
Though only a few did follow him
Amongst Israel's sons
He never stopped a'calling
The Lord thy God is One
Some disbelievers had a plan
Would nail him to his death
God made it look as if they did
But raised him up instead
Mary, Mary, don't you weep
Heaven guards him while you sleep
Mary, Mary, time will come
Death won't touch him 'til his work is done
Now just before he lifted up
He gave the world the news
That God would send a comforter
With the Spirit of Truth
And he would be His witness
And deliver God's word
While many people know him
Still many haven't heard
Mary, Mary, don't you weep
Angels guard you while you sleep
Mary, Mary, don't feel low
He'll return on the day that God says so
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary
