Mary Had A Little Lamb

 

Mary had the little Lamb, who lived before His birth;

Self-existent Son of God, from Heaven He came to Earth. (Micah 5:2)

 

Mary had the little Lamb; see Him in yonder stall --

Virgin-born Son of God, to save man from the Fall. (Isaiah 7:14)

 

Mary had the little Lamb, obedient Son of God;

Everywhere the Father led, His feet were sure to trod. (John 6:38)

 

Mary had the little Lamb, crucified on the tree

The rejected Son of God, He died to set men free. (1 Peter 1:18)

 

Mary had the little Lamb -- men placed Him in the grave,

Thinking they were done with Him; to death He was no slave! (Mat. 28:6)

 

Mary had the little Lamb, ascended now is He;

All work on Earth is ended, our Advocate to be. (Hebrews 4:14-16)

 

Mary had the little Lamb -- mystery to behold!

From the Lamb of Calvary, a Lion will unfold. (Revelation 5: 5,6)

 

When the Day Star comes again, of this be very sure:

It won't be Lamb-like silence, but with the Lion's roar.

(Ps. 2:12; Rev. 19:11-16)
