Mary's Song
Blessed Light: A Joyful Journey in Mary's Song
Lyrics
How can it be that I am blessed
Expressing wonder at the blessing received
To bear a gift so tender
Describing the gift as delicate and precious
My soul rejoices in the LORD
Rejoicing in the divine presence of the LORD
The one true God my Saviour
Acknowledging God as the true Saviour
They will surely call me blessed
Anticipating recognition and honor for the blessing
From now all generations
Believing the blessing will be remembered for generations
For he has remembered me
Grateful for God's remembrance and favor
For he has been mindful
Appreciating God's mindfulness and care
O, rejoice
Calling for joy and celebration
You people Israel
Addressing the people of Israel to rejoice
Your light has come
Announcing the arrival of a significant light or revelation
Hallelujah
Expressing praise and worship with "Hallelujah"
He has brought down the mighty ones
Describing a divine act of humbling the powerful
And lifted up the humble
Emphasizing the elevation of the humble by God
He has helped the weak to stand
Noting God's assistance to the weak and vulnerable
And scattered all the prideful
Highlighting the dispersal of the proud and arrogant
And He has filled the hungry
Stating God's provision for the hungry and needy
And sent the rich away
Indicating the rejection of the wealthy and self-sufficient
To those who fear him he has shown
Revealing God's merciful nature to those who fear Him
A never-ending mercy
Emphasizing God's everlasting mercy
