Singing the Song of Mary - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Our mother, of our brother
our savior, the Christ
so we sing, joining her
singing the song of Mary
its melody alive
shining in the night
the darkness lit
by his bright star
Claiming our faith like Mary
a servant of God to be
walking humbly with our creator
welcoming our king

------------
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
