In the silence of the night
The long awaited holy cry
Hands that formed the moon and stars
Reached for you and stole your heart

Highly favored you were called
To the hardest job of all
You were only just a girl
To cradle the weight of the world

Glory to God in the Highest
Glory to God in the Highest

As years went by you freed his hands
You watched your boy become a man
You did your best to keep Him safe
But He was never yours to claim

Glory to God in the Highest
Glory to God in the Highest

Gloria
In Excelsis Deo
Gloria
In Excelsis Deo

Mother of the Son of God
See your Child on a cross
Life you gave Him now He gives
He was born so you could live

Glory to God in the Highest
Glory to God in the Highest

His name adored throughout the earth
But you're the one who loved Him first
