The song of Mary is at once the most passionate, the wildest, one might even say the most revolutionary advent hymn ever sung. This is not the gentle, tender, dreamy Mary whom we sometimes see in paintings… This song has none of the sweet, nostalgic, or even playful tones of some of our Christmas carols. It is instead a hard, strong, inexorable song about the power of God and the powerlessness of humankind.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer (advent, 1933)

CHORUS: My soul is praising the Lord, yes!
And glad for all He is saving.
Because the Lord has remembered me -
Small as I am, poor as I am -
All people will call me blessed.
Adapted from Luke 1: 46-55
