A SONG OF REJOICINGLuke 1 : 44-56

Do you hear the people sing?Singing the song of angry menIt is the music of a peopleWho will not be slaves again?When the beating of your heartEchoes the beating of the drumsThere is a life about to startWhen tomorrow comes......

Mary’s Song

And Mary said:“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.From now on all generations will call me blessed,

for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

“My soul doth MAGNIFY the Lord,and my spirit hath REJOICED in God

my Savior.”
