Mary's Song - Ali Gillum - Sunday 22 December 2024

This advent message is preached from the passage in Luke 1:46-55; 

Mary’s Song

46 And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord

47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,

49     for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
    holy is his name.

50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.

51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.

52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things
    but has sent the rich away empty.

54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful

55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”
