This is the child I prayed for.
Now I make him over to the Lord for his whole life.
We are his property , there lies the open door.
We have only to lose our own strife.

My soul proclaims the greatness of of the Lord.
And my spirit exults in God my saviour.
We can only magnify our life to him and cut life’s cord.
That is then is the test of all our behaviour .

So we are his mere property.
There is only one thing to magnify.
Herein lies true liberty.
We no longer have to ask why.

If only we could be more like Mary.
Life and the future would be a lot less scary .

……..

The Magnificat
Is then for everyone
Now and for always

See 1 Samuel 1: 24-28 and Luke 1: 46-56
