my spirit rejoices in God my Savior – v3

My spirit rejoices in God my Savior
my soul glorifies my Lord
for He has blessed me greatly;
I am a humble maidservant,
I am Your vessel, You yourself made me;
use me Lord, as You will

I am overwhelmed, I am humbled,
to think You have chosen me
to bear Your child, the Messiah,
the fulfillment of scripture,
the One foretold, the Savior,
to set our people free

& poem from last year:
------------
Magnificat

Joining Mary, her song
sung to God, for all generations -
blessings we share, each of us
with her, all creation, blessed by the creator
humble servants are we, walking with our brother
sharing this wondrous message, with her, the angels,
those who have gone before us

A choir, singing her song, our song
of praise, of grace, of God’s great works
rejoicing with our mother, our sister
at all the almighty has done for us,
for the people, the descendants of Abraham
by faith, by his love, all of us saved
Share the good news
