Our Lady Of Guadalupe Lyrics - Carlene Thissen

Our Lady of Guadalupe ? ¾ time 

VERSE 1,2: 

Way down in Mexico, a very long time ago 

Lived an Indian peasant named Juan Diego 

At dawn the birds? chorus, announced a vision so glorious, 

The mother of Jesus, in sunbeams she glowed. 

She said, ?I want a church, you see, built here to honor me, 

Go tell the Bishop, my sweet Juanito, 

?Right here on this bleak spot, known as Mount Tepayac 

She spoke in his dialect, ?Now you must go.? 

REFRAIN: 

Take my message to the Bishop 

Juan Diego, do not fear, 

I am God?s and your sweet mother 

And forever, I?ll be here.

BRIDGE 1: 

Juan Diego thought, uneasily, 

?How can it be, she does not see?? 

?The Bishop won?t see me 

?Cause I?m nobody.? 

She said, ?I don?t agree.? 

VERSE 3 

When the Bishop rejected him, She sent Juan back again 

The Bishop said he?d need a sign. Juan told the Lady. 

She just smiled gently and said, ?Up on the hill you?ll see 

Flowers blooming beautifully, gather them for me.? 

REFRAIN: 

Take the flowers to the Bishop 

Juan Diego, do not fear 

I am God?s and your sweet mother 

And forever, I?ll be here.

BRIDGE 2 

Juan Diego thought, uneasily, 

?(How can it be, she does not see?)? 

?Flowers don?t grow here 

This time of year.? 

She said, ?Trust me, my dear.? 

VERSES 4, 5 

At the top of the hill, Juan found Castilian roses, 

And gathered them up/ in the tilma he wore, 

As he entered the Bishop?s door, the roses spilt out on the floor, 

And on Juan?s cloak appeared/ the image of her. 

On the twelfth of December, since all can remember, 

We cover the altar with flowers on her day 

Sing her good morning with the birds in the dawning 

To honor Our Lady of Guadalupe 

REFRAIN: 

Bring the flowers to the Lady 

Sing her praise and do not fear 

She is God?s and our sweet mother 

And forever she?ll be here.
