[Verse 1]
C
She holds him close her baby son
F
As wise men view the Holy One
Bb C
So amazed at what she's done and she cries
C
She draws Him gently to her breast
F
His tiny hands caressed
Bb
Not knowing just why she was blessed
C
and she cries
[Chorus]
E F G7
She cries with tears of joy
Dm G7
The waiting now has passed
Dm G7 C
She holds here baby boy at last and she cries
[Verse 2]
C
She sees three crosses on a hill
F
She knows it was the Father's will
Bb
So struck with grief her heart stands still
C
and she cries
C
And there upon the mountainside
F
Her disbeleif she cannot hide
Bb C
As her own son is crucified and she cries
[Chorus]
E F G7
She cries with tears of pain
Dm G7
The darknest days she's ever know
Dm G7 C
How could they leave him here alone and she cries
[Verse 3]
C
Another time at another place
F
She looks upon the Master's face
Bb C
The sorrows gone and all the pain erased and she cries
C
So amazed how this could be
F
But how it's all clear to see
Bb C
She bows before His Majesty and she cries
[Chorus]
E F G7
She cries with tears of joy
Dm G7
The waiting now has passed
Dm G7
She holds the risen king at last
E F G7
And she cries with tears of joy
Dm G7
And now there'll be no more goodbyes
Dm G7 C
He wipes the tears from her eyes as she cries
C C
She cries... Mary cries
