[Verse] A priest’s wife I stay at home People on the road They tell me Oh In the temple Zechariah sees an angel And he cannot speak For doubting I’ll be pregnant And I laugh ‘Cause that would be impossible And then I cry ‘Cause what if it is possible And then I’m quiet ‘Cause I think that it’s probable And I sit in the dust And I think of the days I’ve lived And I think of the days to come And I wait [Chorus] The day he returns home And he sees me And he’s crying And he cannot speak And I’m silent And he points at me And he points at my womb And I know It is true And I know I have a son And I know And I rejoice In God My savior [Verse] I go into seclusion For five months And in that time I feel him move inside of me And I know that God is with us He’s with me I go to draw water From the well I’ve got the pot on my shoulder And the people stare at me They whisper and I know They’re talkin’ about me And it hurts But I trust God ‘Cause I know That I have a son And I know He’s gonna be the one Who prepares the way for the Lord And I rejoice In God My savior [Bridge] I see my kin Mary And she’s walkin’ in the door And she says “Elizabeth Is it true?

Blessed are you Who believes the Lord will do What he says he will do ‘Cause I know You will have a Son And I know He’s gonna be the One And I know The Lord is here And I rejoice In God My Savior” [Outro] The Lord has shown me his favor He has taken away my disgrace The Lord has shown me his favor He has taken away my disgrace The Lord has shown me his favor He has taken away my disgrace The Lord has shown me his favor He has taken away my disgrace
