Mary, don’t you fear – I come with tidings of joy
You’re highly favored – you will give birth to a boy
He shall be called “Wonderful, Savior!”
O Mary, don’t know you’re highly favored?
Mary, don’t lose heart when Joseph acts like a man
Just give Me time to work – he is a part of the plan
Which shall include a hope and future
Mary, don’t you know you’re highly favored?
Along the way, expect a bumpy ride
As if your life were strapped to a donkey hide
When you arrive and find you’re sleeping outside
I’ll be right there by your side
So Mary, sing your song – you who are chosen of God
To be a blessing – remember all you’ve been taught
Emmanuel, your Lord and Savior,
Has called your name and you are highly favored
