"God, I Thank You For Mary"
Father, I thank you for Mary
For she accomplished all
Being bold and courageous
and for answering the call.
Father, I thank you for Mary
for becoming the mother of Jesus Christ
who was born, died, buried, and on the third day got up from the grave
that we might have eternal life.
Father, I thank you for Mary
for her life reveals
that we are only vessels to do God's will.
Father, I thank you for Mary.
Father God, I thank you for the Mary Experience.
I thank you for Mary's life.
But most of all I want to thank you
for giving me Jesus Christ.
