MARY'S SONG

IT WAS A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER

WHEN THE MESSAGE CAME

EXPLODING LIKE SPARKS IN A FIRE

CHANGING MY LIFE FOREVER.

I WASN’T EVEN PRAYING

JUST QUIETLY DUSTING, REARRANGING

WHEN AN ANGEL APPEARED

HIS PRESENCE OVERWHELMING.

SAYING, THE LORD WAS WITH ME

I WAS HIGHLY FAVOURED

AND SINGLED OUT FOR GOD’S BLESSING.

MY HEART BEATING LIKE A FRENZIED HAMMER

MY THOUGHTS RACING, MY BODY REELING

GABRIEL’S WORDS WASHED THROUGH ME.

SAYING I WAS THE LORD’S DELIGHT

HAD BEEN SPECIALLY CHOSEN FOR A WONDERFUL GIFT.

THIS IS WHERE IT SPIRALLED INTO THE STRATOSPHERE,

HIS MESSAGE IMPRINTING VERY CLEAR

THAT I’D BE PREGNANT WITH A BABY BOY

WAS TO CALL HIS NAME JESUS.

THAT HE’D BE THE GREATEST, THE SON OF THE HIGHEST,

AND REIGN FOREVER AS ISRAEL’S KING

HIS KINGDOM HAVING NO LIMIT.

I WAS UNMARRIED, YOUNG, STILL A VIRGIN

THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION ON MY LIPS…. HOW?

THE ANSWER MELTING ALL RESISTANCE

THAT I WOULD EXPERIENCE THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

KNOW ALMIGHTY GOD’S SHADOW OF POWER IN A GLORY CLOUD

SO THE CHILD BORN TO ME WOULD BE HOLY, THE SON OF GOD.

I WAS UNDONE, THE YES RESOUNDING LOUD

THROUGH EVERY FIBRE OF ME.

I’M GOD’S SERVANT, I REPLIED

MY HEART EMBRACING EVERY WORD

FROM THE ANGEL’S MOUTH.
