We can only imagine what she went through

Watching her son die

We can only picture the look on her face

When she turned away from him to cry

She was the strongest woman we'll ever know of

She was the most faithful in all her time

She was given the privilege of birthing Jesus

So he could save all mankind

The likes of sin had no hold on her

Satan could not grasp her hand

She brought Jesus into the world--

The Son of God, and the son of man

She walks down the road now

Following Jesus up the hill

She's dreaded this day for thirty three years

But she knows he must do it still

She's brought up the perfect son

She's raised the perfect child, indeed

All the while knowing that he was the One

Who would strip the world of its evil deeds

She sees Jesus being nailedto the cross

Giving up his perfect life

Mary kneels to the ground and cries

For all the world her son is being sacrificed

She knew he'd raise from the dead in three days

So she cries for her son as she gives God praise

She smiles as she sees the empty grave

For all men her son has saved
