Before time my life was chosen   For this miracle performed   That through me would come a baby   Who would one day be my Lord      But right now He's just a baby   And the world is not so sure   'Cause while some bow down to worship   There are some who laugh and scorn      But there's a will and there's a purpose   That I know He must fulfill   And the reason why you chose me   Very soon will be revealed      But for now can I just hold Him   And keep Him in my arms   And for now can I just hold Him   And keep Him safe from harm   And I'll give Him back to you, oh yes I will      Little ordinary Mary   Little baby Jesus boy   He's divine in all your planning   But for me He's pride and joy      But in Him there is a story   That the Prophets have foretold   There is honor, there is glory   There's redemption for us all      And there's a will and there's a purpose   That I know He must fulfill   And the reason why you chose me   Very soon will be revealed      But for now can I just hold Him   And keep Him in my arms   And for now can I just hold Him   And keep Him safe from harm   And I'll give Him back to you      Can't even think about Him crucified, no, no, no, no, no   I can't even think that He was born to die   Innocent baby my heart says, "Why?"   'Cause He's just a little child   He is my baby, baby, oh yes He is      There's a will and there's a purpose   I know He must fulfill   And the reason why you chose me   Very soon will be revealed      But for now can I just hold Him   And keep Him in my arms   And for now can I just hold Him   And keep Him safe from harm   And I'll give Him back to you, I'll give Him back      My baby, baby, baby boy   Jesus
