I'll never have the power to control the land 
Or conquer half the world 
Or claim the sun 
I'll never be the kind who simply waves her hand 
And has a million people do 
The things I wish I'd done 
But in the eyes of heaven 
My place is assured 
I carry with me heaven's grand design 
Glory, Oh,
Glory I will sing the name of the Lord 
And He will make me shine 
And I will be like Mother Mary 
With a blessing in my soul 
And I will give the world my eyes 
So they can see 
And I will be like Mother Mary 
With a blessing in my soul 
And the future of the world inside of me 
In the eyes of heaven 
My place is assured 
I carry with me heaven's grand design 
Glory, Oh,
Glory I will sing the name of the Lord 
And He will make me shine 
And I will be like Mother Mary 
With a blessing in my soul 
And I will give the world my eyes 
So they can see 
And I will be like Mother Mary 
With a blessing in my soul 
And the future of the world inside of me 
And I will be like Mother Mary 
With the power in my veins 
To believe in all the things 
I've yet to be 
And I will be like Mother Mary 
And I'll suffer any pains 
For the future of the world 
For the future of the world 
Inside of me
