YouTube video: If I Could Be Like Mary, sacred Christmas song for children

Text:
If I could be like Mary, I’d always do God’s will.
And I could show submission, His desires to fill.
I could love His children here with a heart that’s so sincere.
When I am like Mary, I feel God so near.

If I could be like Joseph, I’d trust with all my heart.
Though I may still have questions, I could do my part.
I could show respect and love to my Father up above.
When I am like Joseph, I can feel God’s love.

If I could be like Jesus, I’d follow what God speaks.
Then I could bless His children, giving what they seek.
I could help all to depend on His words until the end.
When I love like Jesus, I can be God’s friend.

Oh, I can be like Mary when I choose to believe.
And I can trust like Joseph when to God I cleave.
I can learn to live God’s ways and to sing with grateful praise.
When I love like Jesus, His love fills my days.
