Favored One / What Child Is This Mary Rice Hopkins A Very Mary Christmas - Mary Rice Hopkins
What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom angels guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

She went about her Mary way
But an angel said, "I've come today
Oh favored one, God will use you"
The angel stayed and did explain
"You'll have a child and bear God's name"
And so she sang a song of love brand new

Chorus:

And she sang
"Oh my soul glorifies my Lord
I rejoice in God my Savior
Oh look what you've done
I will bear God's Son
And I will serve You forever
I will serve You forever"

At first she said, "Oh who am I
To be chosen, oh Lord on high?
How can I be Your favored one?"
But she was faithful in all her days
To follow God in all His ways
And to the Lord she gave her precious Son

(Repeat Chorus)
