This song for the season of Advent echoes Mary's response to the amazing events of Luke 1: after she has received the announcement of the angel Gabriel that she will be the mother of the Savior of the world, and after she has received the blessing of her relative, Elizabeth, Mary bursts forth into a song of praise to God. "My Soul Magnifies the Lord" allows the congregation to enter into that time of wonder and waiting, of adoration and anticipation.

My Soul Magnifies the Lord
Verse 1
God promised the lowly a Savior
When he looked on Mary with favor.
An angel appeared
And God's Spirit came near.
We wait for our King
And with Mary we sing:

"My soul magnifies the Lord;
My spirit rejoices in Almighty God."
We wait for his kingdom to come to this earth.
We wait for our strong Savior's birth.
Verse 2
God's mercy is shown to the lowly
As he lifts us up pure and holy.
For all who draw near,
Our redemption is here.
We wait for our King
And with Mary we sing:
