Mary had a little Lamb, who lived before His birth; Self-existent Son of God, from Heaven he came to Earth. (Micah 5:2) Mary had the little Lamb, see Him in yonder stall - Virgin-born Son of God, to save man from the Fall. (Isaiah 7:14) Mary had the little Lamb, obedient Son of God; Everywhere the Father led, His feet were sure to trod.

Black November; "Come about August, now listen to me, Each day you'll be thick, where once you were thin, And you'll grow a big rubbery thing under your chin. "And then one morning, when you're...
