Mary's Enduring Love

We can pay tribute, as did Christ
Who showed complete obedience
To the Father, though His life was the price
There was no regret or grievance

While the whole earth, He'd soon ransom
He also paid tribute to His mother
She'd contributed to what He'd become
She understood His role, like no other

How He wanted her protected!
Some of His last thoughts were of her
So she would not feel dejected
To provide, it was John, he offered

We all need someone to live for
Someone that is always there
For decades, Mary was at the side of the Lord
Now it was her time to receive care

Such was Mary's enduring and abiding love

She exemplified steadfast faith and devotion

Continually she prayed to our Father above

Her trust in His plan did not waver in the commotion
