Mary’s Lullaby (Black Haired Boy) Lyrics by The Porter’s Gate

Advent Songs

2021

[Verse 1]
Oh black-haired boy, your eyes are dark
As midnight lit by shining stars
And bright as love that filled my heart
When first I looked at you
Your skin is brown as pilgrim roads
Lead straight to fragrant olive woods
As brown as mine, and I'm in awe
Each time I look at you
[Verse 2]
You made the ox and lamb, my love
And shaped the wings of turtledoves
You wrote the hidden secrets of
The world I'll show to you
Within my body you took form
And wailed aloud when you were born
The moment that my heart was torn
With love I'll show to you
[Verse 3]
You wove these wonders through the earth
You made them all and gave them worth
And now you join them in your birth
And I'll give them to you
I'll show you skies filled up with stars
Teach you words for light and dark
All the wondrous things there are
I'll give them all to you
[Verse 4]
I'll hold you closely as I can
And watch you grow into a man
As long as I can hold your hand
I'll walk the world with you
You'll lead me to God's own heart
Where all these wonders have their start
But here within the stable, dark
I'll be the world for you
I'll be the world for you
