Before time my life was chosen
For this miracle performed
That through me would come a baby
Who would one day be my LordBut right now He's just a baby
And the world is not so sure
'Cause while some bow down to worship
There are some who laugh and scornBut there's a will and there's a purpose
That I know He must fulfill
And the reason why you chose me
Very soon will be revealedBut for now can I just hold Him
And keep Him in my arms
And for now can I just hold Him
And keep Him safe from harm
And I'll give Him back to you, oh yes I willLittle ordinary Mary
Little baby Jesus boy
He's divine in all your planning
But for me He's pride and joyBut in Him there is a story
That the Prophets have foretold
There is honor, there is glory
There's redemption for us allAnd there's a will and there's a purpose
That I know He must fulfill
And the reason why you chose me
Very soon will be revealedBut for now can I just hold Him
And keep Him in my arms
And for now can I just hold Him
And keep Him safe from harm
And I'll give Him back to youCan't even think about Him crucified, no, no, no, no, no
I can't even think that He was born to die
Innocent baby my heart says, "Why?"
'Cause He's just a little child
He is my baby, baby, oh yes He isThere's a will and there's a purpose
I know He must fulfill
And the reason why you chose me
Very soon will be revealedBut for now can I just hold Him
And keep Him in my arms
And for now can I just hold Him
And keep Him safe from harm
And I'll give Him back to you, I'll give Him backMy baby, baby, baby boy
Jesus
