In you our flesh he had to come
    F        Am7   F6     G
You grounded him upon our earth
      F         C           Dm7/G      C
Your feet that walked, your womb that held
     F          G                   C
Your pain that brought this love to birth.

of patient love and listening;
  F         Gsus4      G       C
a mother's choice o' mystic's grace.

The cost to you, your hope-filled yes,

Your courage lived shows us the way.
