Beholden There The Shame
                (as seen through the eyes of Mary)

Oh, my Son, my Son.
Beholden there the shame
     that once cursed the world.
They have beaten you, and stripped you
     of honor, robe and name.
Yet they called you King!
     while at you curses hurled.
The power of your glory
     is covered by the dark,
As you fight the lonely battle

     for those who do not hark.
Wait upon the Father’s time,
     for effulgence of His love.
It will turn your darkened hour
     into His glory from above.

My Son, O my Son!
Still my quivering heart
     in the repose of your peace,
Ere the beating of my heart
     calls it’s time of cease.
As eons pass upon the earth
     and Satan’s fiery darts
Try again and again to conquer
     all those careless raging hearts,
Touch all their quivering hearts
     in the repose of your peace
Ere the beating of your children’s hearts
     calls its time of cease.
