She gently rocks me,
back and forth,
in her slender arms,
since I’m a little babe
who can’t find Jesus
alone, without her;
she lovingly caresses
and warms me in the
cold dark night,
and her smiling eyes
twinkle in the Light;
her soft rosy lips
sweetly kiss me
as she leads me
faithfully and joyfully
to her merciful Son
in the manger,
the Bread of Life.
