Mary Sang with Joy

God’s blessings upon her
the weight of submission
lifted from her
the words of Elizabeth
her cousin
speaking a blessing to her
Mary sang with joy
offering praises to God
willingly accepting his calling
to bear her burden
joy overflowing
breaking into song
singing God her praises
out of a joyful heart
