Mary’s Lament

Leadsheet

v.1
Is this the babe I carried?
Is this the boy who played?
Is this the man who raised the dead?
Still in my arms he lay.

v.2
Lord you did give this son to me.
Now why do you take him away?
It cuts like a cold blade through my soul,
And now in the grave he lay.

(chorus)
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Lord you give and take away
Blessed be your name
Allelu, allelujah
Lord you give and take away
Blessed be your name

v.3
Is this the son I buried,
Holding me close today?
Is this Messiah who conquers death?
Safe in his arms I will stay.
Safe in his arms I will stay.
