standing vigil at the cross – v2

Standing vigil at the cross
as she had stood by Him
when the wise men came
led by the star
to see the baby,
giving Him gifts
beyond her comprehension

His mother by Him
in His time of agony
she would not leave Him
alone on Calvary
on Golgotha,
the place of the skull
with Him those six hours
until His time was done
