Hold You in my Heart – Mary’s Song
By Susan Vaughan Shumake
April 12, 2020 Happy Easter!
*****
From the moment that I heard
The angel speak God’s Holy Word
I knew that I was blessed
I was chosen for this test
From the moment that I knew
My heart was overwhelmed with LOVE for you
You are more than just a dream
You are God’s miracle in me
*****
I will hold you in my heart
No one can take this love away from me
I believe in who you are
You are our future and our destiny
I am yours eternally
Forever you will be a part of me
I can’t begin to understand
All that God has planned
But I have vowed to do my part…
I will hold you in my heart
*****
From the moment that I heard
The angry crowd shouting that word
I knew that you would die
The Son of God they’d crucify
From the moment that I knew
My heart was overwhelmed with GRIEF for you
You are more than just a man
You are God’s Sacrificial Lamb
*****
I will hold you in my heart
No one can take this love away from me
I believe in who you are
You are our future and our destiny
I am yours eternally
Forever you will be a part of me
I can’t begin to understand
All that God has planned
But I have vowed to do my part…
I will hold you in my heart
*****
I want to shout it from the mountaintops
I want the world to see
That God has sent His Son
To set His people free
But it’s not for me to say
And until God makes a way
I will hold you in my heart
*****
From the moment that I heard
The angel speak God’s Holy Word
I knew you’d risen from the grave!
All humanity to save!
From the moment that I knew
My heart was overwhelmed with JOY for you
You are more than just my son
You are The Christ, The Risen One!
*****
I will hold you in my heart
No one can take this love away from me
I BELIEVE in who you are!
You are our future and our destiny
I am yours eternally
Forever you will be a part of me
I’ve just begun to understand
The greatness of God’s plan
And I was blessed to have a part… Am I finished with my part?
I will hold you in my heart!
*****
Now I can shout it from the mountaintops!
I want the world to see!
That God has sent His Son!
To set His people free!
I can STAND UP now and say
Because God has made The Way
And I will hold you in my heart…
We will hold You in our hearts…
I will hold you in my heart.
