Signs of Solace

Faithfulness, it sprang to light

Blessed Mother shining bright

Twas an angel softly speaking

As a man He was softly being

In you the Spirit sowed His seed

Our Savior, oh so sweet and silent

But what becomes of my betrothed

Will he cast me out into the road

But by an angel he was also told

Us to accept and love and hold

Charged to raise the Son of God

Come as man on earth, He trod

When the time for birth was here

Myriads of angels, suddenly appear

Memories stored within your heart

That you treasured from the start

Shepherds praising God up on high

Sharing news to those they passed by

Not as expected did He teach

A kingdom here He did not seek

Hear His words that He might teach you

Follow Him because He does love you

And for some His actions gathered them in

But for some, something about Him must be done

Faithful, always standing by His side

Watching sadly as He in agony died

While all of the good in creation cried

Bequeathed to us as our mother dear

You have tried to bend our ear with words that many will not heed

And in disbelief, they will refuse solace
