lyrics

A guy named Jo,a girl named Mary
fell in love, it was extraordinary
a dream come true that nearly fell apart
when what Jo learned simply broke his heart

Not my child, not my own!
This is not the life that I had planned and I'm still all alone.
I may never understand, and my heart feels like a stone...
Not my child, not my own!

A young girls dreams of love and family
and of her courtship observed customarily.
But all that changed the day Mary knew
Jehovah's will was what she would do.

God's own child and yet my own!
This is not what I expected, but then how could I have known?
I may never understand all the wonders I've been shown.
God's own child and yet my own!

A young man grows His Father's Son
takes up the work the Father has begun
until at last it comes down to this
a garden prayer and a traitor's kiss!

Not my will but Thine be done!
Perfect love of God, the Father, demonstrated in the Son.
We worship Him and wonder at the victory Christ won!
Not my will, but Thine be done...
not my will, but Thine be done!
