C
She holds him close her baby son
     F
As wise men view the Holy One
    Bb                                C
So amazed at what she's done and she cries
      C
She draws Him gently to her breast
      F
His tiny hands caressed
      Bb
Not knowing just why she was blessed
        C
and she cries

[Chorus]
     E         F        G7
She cries with tears of joy
     Dm             G7
The waiting now has passed
                Dm          G7           C
She holds here baby boy at last and she cries
    
[Verse 2]
     C
She sees three crosses on a hill
      F 
She knows it was the Father's will
     Bb
So struck with grief her heart stands still
     C
and she cries
      C
And there upon the mountainside
      F
Her disbeleif she cannot hide
      Bb                            C
As her own son is crucified and she cries

[Chorus]
E              F        G7
She cries with tears of pain
     Dm                   G7
The darknest days she's ever know
                Dm            G7             C
How could they leave him here alone and she cries

[Verse 3]
         C
Another time at another place
     F
She looks upon the Master's face
     Bb                                          C
The sorrows gone and all the pain erased and she cries

     C
So amazed how this could be
     F
But how it's all clear to see
     Bb                              C
She bows before His Majesty and she cries

[Chorus]
  E           F         G7
She cries with tears of joy
    Dm              G7
The waiting now has passed
              Dm             G7
She holds the risen king at last
      E            F        G7
And she cries with tears  of joy
      Dm                    G7
And now there'll be no more goodbyes
              Dm           G7           C
He wipes the tears from her eyes as she cries
     C             C
She cries... Mary cries
