The Power of the Sign of the Cross
Must I think about your bitter agony in the garden oh Lord at this time of your precious birth?
Must I recall your passion from whence your purpose Born to Earth?
Must I behold your garments all bloody and all stained?
Instead of Mary's tender touch to soothe the newborn babe
For thou dost is the reason God sent you from above
Coming first as a little baby in that cold yet radiant stall
I want to ponder Joseph in glorious ecstasy, beholding Christ the baby beside his wife, Mary
I want to see the star being followed, oh so bright and have it Glow
Within my heart, to lead me, in darker times that follow
I want to hold that baby, falling on the ground I kneel. Before a King, a Majesty, to never be compared, and bow my head in reverence and say, " Christ the King is here!"
Must I leave this moment? where the Holy Family
Has come as our Salvation, our one true destiny
