Magnificat

I know I hardly know you girl

But when you were still a child, it seems

You had a visitation out of nowhere

The message held no compromise

It needed all your heart and mind

To understand the meaning you were given

And the words ran over in your mind

And the shock waves echoed through your time

And your soul proclaimed the greatness of the lord

And your spirit did rejoice in God your saviour

For he had looked with favour on his lowly servant

From this day forward all generations

Would call you blessed, blessed, so blessed

The birth became reality

The fast-approaching motherhood

Effects upon your friends and family

And Joseph could not see

It seems he thought that you were through

But he was given guidance too

And the words ran over in his mind

Then the time of birth was due

The stresses on your life increased

The travelling, nowhere for you to sleep

But all the words came true

A miracle had come to earth

The virgin girl had given birth

And the words run over in my mind

And the shock waves echo through all time
