Hail Mary (Featuring The McKnight Family Choir)
Brian McKnight · Bethlehem
Born in Bethlehem
Everytime the little baby cried
She rocked him in a weary land
Ain't that rockin' for the world
Ain't that rockin' for the world
Ain't that
Oh, she rocked
Oh, she rocked and rocked
She rocked him in a weary land
Rocking,rocking
He was born in a lowly manager
'Cause there was found no room in the inn
Everytime the little baby cried
She rocked him in a weary land
Ain't that rockin' for the world
Ain't that rockin' for the world
Ain't that
Oh, she rocked
Oh, she rocked and rocked
She rocked him in a weary
There were shepherds abiding in the field
Keeping watch o'er the flock by night
Unto you a babe was born this day
Said the angel of the lord to the shepherds in the field
Angels call him Christ the Lord
But I call my Jesus King Emmanuel
Everytime the little baby cried
She rocked him in a weary land
Ain't that rockin' for the world
Ain't that rockin' for the world
Ain't that
Oh, she rocked
Oh, she rocked and rocked
She rocked him in a weary
