Mary's Song Of Praise

Scripture: Luke 1:46-56 (NIV)

And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.


Devotional

After Elizabeth’s Spirit-filled prophetic proclamation to Mary and unborn baby Jesus within her, Mary burst out with a song of praise. In this burst of praise, Mary exalts the names and activities of God:

  • Lord
  • God my Savior
  • Mighty One
  • Holy
  • Has done great things
  • Shows mercy to all who hear Him
  • Does tremendous things with His mighty arm
  • Has scattered the proud and haughty ones
  • Has brought down princes from their thrones
  • Has exalted the humble
  • Has filled the hungry with good things
  • Has sent the rich away empty handed
  • Has helped Israel
  • Has remembered to be merciful
  • Has made promises to Abraham and his descendants forever

What names and activities of God would you add to this as you praise Him?


Poem

Like Water Breaking
Like water breaking from the womb
May praise burst forth from parted lips
Uncontrollable
Unstoppable
Commencing the birth of true worship

Like water gushing from the rock
May your compassion stream from stony cleft
Uncontrollable
Unstoppable
Quenching the thirst of your people

Like water flowing from your side
May forgiveness be my heart’s first pour
Uncontrollable
Unstoppable
Lifting the lowly to your throne
