In you our flesh he had to come
You grounded him upon our earth
Your feet that walked, your womb that held
Your pain that brought this love to birth.
The Sacred Heart of him you held
can grieve and grow within the space,
of patient love and listening;
a mother's choice o' mystic's grace.
In your delight, in your despair,
The smallest choices of each day;
The cost to you, your hope-filled yes,
Your courage lived shows us the way.
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart,
Eternal sign of God surprise,
In you we know the poor as blessed,
This world transformed before our eyes.
O Woman of the Sacred Heart,
You heard the words of Gabriel.
Pray we may hear the call of God
and come to meet Emmanuel
His truth is witnessed in your face,
that he became and was and is
The Sacred Heart, the resting place;
Our hearts forever held in his.
