This song is awesome!

Tonight I went to 5pm Mass and at the end of Mass before the final blessing this guy got up and sang this song. After he sung the song he said he was from the new Catholic Rock group called "The Thirsting" and they gave a free concert at our Parish. I got a couple of copies of this CD but this song really spoke to me especially during Lent. He said it was inspired by the Holy Spirit while he was praying the Rosary. It is a meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary.

The Lyrics are as follows:


A cold night in Bethlehem
No fire to warm her hands
She gives birth to the Word made Flesh
The Bread of Life she puts in a manger
She won't understand why they come to adore Him
She'll say come hold my Son
Come Hold My Son

At the Temple she holds Him
She starts to see His Salvation
Two turtle doves behold Him
As she presents Him to the world
She won't understand why a sword will pierce her heart
And she'll say Come hold my Son
Come hold Son

Come hold Jesus

In the streets of Jeruselem
She cries out loud Where is my boy?
He's gone to serve His Father now
His Father's house is where He dwells
She won't understand His Father's standing next to Him
but she'll say Come hold my Son
Come hold my Son


On the Hill of Calvary
Woman, Behold your Son
She watches Him nailed into a tree
The child she bore gasps for air
A loud cry and His heart is pierced
The child she held has gone from her
His body hangs without life
They take Him down from the tree
They lay'm in His Mother's arms
They lay'm in Her arms
She won't understand why Her Son had to die
and she said Come hold my Son
Come Hold My Son
