Well Jesus was an only son
As he walked up Calvry Hill
His mother Mary walking beside Him
In the path where His blood spilled
Jesus was an only son
In the hills of Nazareth
As He lay reading the Psalms of David
Well at His mother's feet
Mother prayed sleep tight my child sleep well
For I'll be at Your side
And no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell
Shall pierce your dreams this night
(intro)
In the garden at Gethsemane
He prayed for the life He'd never live
He beseeched His heavenily Father to remove
The cup of death from His lips
There's a loss that can never be replaced
A destination that can never be reached
A light you'll never find in another's face
A sea whose distance cannot be breached
(intro)
Well Jesus kissed His mother's hands
And whispered Mother still your tears
For remember the soul of the universe
Willed a world and it appeared
