l My Soul Glorifies the LordDavid Foley. This
original composition from Dave Foley is a gentle,
contemplative setting of Mary's Magnificat from
Luke 1:46-56, useful during Advent, Christmas, or
general worship. The option for a female soloist at
the start lends itself to Mary's praise and thanks to
the Lord for her child to come. Along with simple
but lush accompaniment, this hymn of praise
quietly glorifies God for the gift Mary carries that is
about to change the world.
