On the forthcoming second Sunday of Advent, we will be visiting Mary and her song of praise, the Magnificat. I have written a poem based on this text, Luke 1:45b-55, one adapted for an Advent Carol by Charlie Kyriakos:
Up and down
then and now
before my God
I humbly bow
For in this place
of low estate
the Lord of life
did know my place
In this act
selfless love
the Savior comes
from heights above
And every soul
from every time
now hears my song
and trusts the sign
