Gray and old
Had I grown
With no child to call my own
Then God turned His face toward me
He placed this life inside
A little one in me is growing
Then today I looked outside
Who was at my door
The mother of my Lord
At the sound of your voice
This babe inside me leapt for joy
For the very first time
I felt a child of mine
Hateful stares I've received
They seemed to ask what's wrong with me
Then God showed His mighty hand
He's taken my reproach
A little one to greet my husband
A babe for me to one day hold
God has heard my prayer
Today He sent you here
At the sound of your voice
This babe inside me leapt for joy
For the very first time
I felt this child
Blessed are you among women
And blessed the babe that you carry
Why is this blessing granted
That you should come to me
Blessed Mary, the Lord is with thee
At the sound of your voice
This babe inside me leapt for joy
For the very first time
I felt a child of mine
