The Promise (optional reading):
"Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with Child
and give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus. He will be great
and will be called the Son of the Most High..." "How will this be," Mary asked the
angel, "since I am a virgin?" (Luke 1:30-32, 34)
Mary, he Moher of Jesus: The Spirit of the most High will overshadow me? I
don't understand. Am I supposed to? God's Son! I am to be
ar God's Son! Oh,
blessed am I! Of all the women of the world, He's chosen—me! Me. Generations
have longed for this promise! And I'm the one to carry it? Oh truly—truly, nothing
shall be impossible with God!
I can see now how God is remembering to be merciful to the lowly—the outcast!
And all history hinges on this alone—Yahweh has chosen to make a home among
us—His people! He proves that He loves the forgotten. (opt. music b
egins) He
rescues the helpless—the helpless. Like this Baby will be helpless. One of us! How
can I bring God's Son into the world? Strange how joy mixes so easily with fear.
What will tomorrow hold? I don't know—but I say yes! Yes! May the mighty hand
of God do all that He wills! For God alone my soul waits. May it be to me as He
has said.
