Hold that blanket closer Mary dear (Metal Cover Version) Lyrics

Hold that blanket closer Mary dear

All the world waits with you for your day

But for now the wind is cold and it s drear

And Bethlehem s still so far away

Do you remember the way you felt back then

Joy and wonder filled your soul and when

The angel slipped away

You knew your life would never be the same

And now you re travelling travelling on a road to Bethlehem

Wandering thoughts fly away

If you knew the road that lay ahead of Him

Would you break down and cry

Your child is born to die

Feel that hand of strength upon your own

A husband s love that guides along the way

And as his understanding has grown

His hopes too are centered on that day

For do you remember the way he looked back then

Pain and sorrow filled his eyes until when

The angel came to say

The Savior s birth was meant to be this way

Think back on that promise you received

For him in whom the prophets long believed

Now belongs to you you've been chosen too

But He s the One Who s gonna shine

We call His name Jesus Immanuel

He will save His people from sin and hell

And of His kingdom there will be no end

Think back on that promise you received

For him in whom the prophets long believed

Now belongs to you you've been chosen too

But He s the One Who s gonna shine

We call His name Jesus Immanuel

He will save His people from sin and hell

And of His kingdom there will be no end
