You say there was no father,
How could that be?
You say there was no father,
Mary.

Why? How?

You've never done me wrong,
I'm trying hard to trust.
You've never done me wrong,
Mary.

Why? How?

You've never told a lie,
No oh no.

You say there was no father,
How could that be?
My Heart,
Mary.

I always think of you,
So beautiful and true.
I even say your name,
in my sleep.

Wait...

Now I truly know,
You did not tell a lie.
Even now I know,
Not why. Not how.

Little Mary
Little Mary
No lie, Some how.

Now I know that trusting you,
Can never lead me wrong.
You even say His name,
In your sleep,
Mary.

Little Mary
Little Mary
By Love, By God.
By Love, This Child.
