I'll never have the power to control the land 

Or conquer half the world 

Or claim the sun 

I'll never be the kind who simply waves her hand 

And has a million people do 

The things I wish I'd done 



But in the eyes of heaven 

My place is assured 

I carry with me heaven's grand design 

Glory, Oh,

Glory I will sing the name of the Lord 

And He will make me shine 



And I will be like Mother Mary 

With a blessing in my soul 

And I will give the world my eyes 

So they can see 

And I will be like Mother Mary 

With a blessing in my soul 

And the future of the world inside of me 



In the eyes of heaven 

My place is assured 

I carry with me heaven's grand design 

Glory, Oh,

Glory I will sing the name of the Lord 

And He will make me shine 



And I will be like Mother Mary 

With a blessing in my soul 

And I will give the world my eyes 

So they can see 

And I will be like Mother Mary 

With a blessing in my soul 

And the future of the world inside of me 



And I will be like Mother Mary 

With the power in my veins 

To believe in all the things 

I've yet to be 

And I will be like Mother Mary 

And I'll suffer any pains 

For the future of the world 

For the future of the world 

Inside of me
