Jesus Slept Jesus slept within Her arms Mary she slept too As angles played a lullaby With love and gratitude Grateful for His presence Here upon the earth This Child of Love and Beauty The Father's sweet Rebirth How great the Love within this heart The beauty of this sight The Mother and the Child of God They share this special night Held within each others arms Each hear loves sweetest song The miracle of special love Now in our world belongs Christmas night the angels came Within their hearts such glow Mary slept as Jesus kept His mother's heartbeat slow So on this very sacred night When Mother's heart did press Close to Heart of Baby's love This night God's sweet duet. ~ Francine ~© original 2000
