Meditational, thought-provoking songs for easy Christian listening...the music of singer-songwriter Nancy Krebs
Welcome to my Soundclick page! I have been a professional actor and singer for all of my adult life. I felt fairly complete doing theatre, films, voice-over work commercials, and teaching. Ever since I was in High School, I also wrote songs--many of them spiritual in nature. I’ve always felt a strong desire to “serve” in some capacity. It wasn’t until 1994, when I turned the process of writing over to God, that all of the avenues that I had been following seemed to come together. I began to write song after song, inspired by the Holy Spirit, singing at a church that supported my fledgling efforts. People kept asking me ‘do you have a cassette or a CD of your songs?” “No”, I would always answer--for the thought of recording never entered my head. Finally, after much soul-searching, my first album, THE JOURNEY, was created, and concerts followed; and more songs followed, and another album followed, and the journey continues. God is not finished yet, and neither am I. The songs I’ve been blessed to write come under the heading of “meditational”, “contemplative”, “inspirational”; and when people listen, they seem to be moved by the sentiments expressed. My fervent hope is that a song will touch someone’s heart, and that heart will be moved to a closer union with God--the Father, who created us, Jesus the Son, who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us.

Story behind the song
This song was written when I was sitting in the Fargo, ND airport waiting for my plane. I felt this overwhelming need to write down the lyrics, so I literally found a coctail napkin and scribbled down the words. The song was finished in about 10 minutes. I truly feel that ou Blessed Mother sat down next to me and dictated the lyrics!
Lyrics
Mary Knew (Never Look Away) ©Nancy Krebs 2002 When He was born, He was so beautiful. He took her breath away, He stole her heart away. She held Him close, to shield her baby boy; this Holy Child, her life, her joy. And when He smiled at her; their eyes locked in a glance. And not by chance she saw His love, His selfless love shine from His Sacred Face; So full of grace. And Mary knew that she could never look away. When just a little boy, He brought her flowers. or helped her with some chore around the house, always giving more. She held Him close, to shield her baby boy; this Holy child, her life, her joy. And when He smiled at her. their eyes locked in a glance. And not by chance, she saw His love; His selfless love shine from His Sacred Face; so full of grace. and Mary knew that she could never look away. She watched Him as He grew, into a handsome man. He took her breath away, He stole her heart away. She had to let Him go, she could not shield her baby boy. And one day they crucified her life, her joy. Through pain, He smiled at her. Their eyes locked in a glance. And not by chance, she saw His love, His selfless love, shine from His Sacred Face; bruised but full of grace. And Mary knew she still could never look away. Her eyes are on him to this day. As our guide, she leads the way in hopes that we, like her, will never look away. © 2004 Voiceworks Publishing All Rights Reserved
