And She Knew

Some would be afraid but she looked and looked
they were face to face
And her hands went to her belly
And she saw at once what would be wonderful 
terrible and true

Joseph working alone with wood
Some men would be angry
But he understood

Every mother has been there
When they came to take him
Would have taken his place

But no one can carry the cross or wear 
the thorns
The murderer to his right
The thief to his left
Were blessed to be near him 
and they were forgiven

And Judas 
left counting 
what was only gold glinting in the night
Felt a hollow and a hunger inside him for God
And with a great shout

He wept at Mary's feet
She wept in her heart
