What Her Heart Remembered - Michael Card

Out in the stable yard

She sees a glow

Could it be angel light?

How would she know?

Shepherds stand wondering

Afraid to come in

But the baby that’s born tonight

Will free them all

To never fear again

As He lies in a cattle trough

She kneels by His side

Sweet baby breathing

Soft infant sighs

Soft sounds of swallowing

As soft fingers part

Marvelous memories

She pondered then

And hid them in her heart

Like a good

Mother would

She learned His cries

If He’d awake

With a bellyache

From hunger or fright

But now and then

Sometimes when

The dark would descend

He would weep

A dark so deep

For all her love

She couldn’t comprehend

Her warm loving carpenter

His strong gentle hands

His dark and bewildered eyes

Can they understand?

That this Baby she’s given him

Is theirs for a time

In truth came to give Himself

The Treasure and the

Ransom of mankind
