The Birth of a Promise
Language: English
One night the angel Gabriel was sent from God on high To tell he Virgin Mary of a gift that would change her life. A baby boy named Jesus, the long awaited King, Would soon be inside of her, a miracle unseen The road would not be easy but she chose to receive the pain and the promise so that others would be free. Like Mary, you may be called to a promise inked with pain. Like Mary, let the Holy Ghost overshadow you. Just hold on through your labor, push through the pain. For some promise certain promises, are birthed in pain.
