THE VIRGIN

 Mary was filled with excitement that day
Joseph had pledged they would faithfully stay
Building a home he had vowed to prepare
Planning a marriage one day they would share. 

Early one morning while sitting alone
An angel appeared from God's holy Throne  
Fear gripped her heart as she looked in his face
Gabriel announced: "You're a gift of His grace!"

The Virgin in wonder did not understand
How she could conceive without seed from a man
The Word made in flesh God in mystery provides
Emanuel, God with us, forever abides.   

Before he ascended he gave her The Name: 
The Savior, Christ Jesus, the King who will reign 
This miracle birth, Mary kept in her heart
Is the one Christmas Gift that will never depart.
