Song Writing

Luke 1: ⁴⁶ And Mary said:

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
⁴⁷ And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
⁴⁸ For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
⁴⁹ For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
⁵⁰ And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.
⁵¹ He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
⁵² He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.
⁵⁴ He has helped His servant Israel,
In remembrance of His mercy,
⁵⁵ As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”

⁵⁶ And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.

Jingles, theme songs and music that hits the charts found a strange place in my mind. I remember songs from commercials that were made decades ago. Every once in a while I will burst out in song, singing about a product that may be off the market.

• Songs are important to me.
• Songs get stuck in my head sometimes.
• Songs, written by someone clever, seem to delight my heart.

Mary was so delighted that she burst into song. There was no rhyme or meter. She did not even sample a popular beat. She sung from the heart about JESUS.

Every day I could have a new song.

JESUS is awesome to me.

HE saved my soul and watches over me!

JESUS clears the way for the low and knocks over the arrogant.

JESUS is my rock and my salvation, whom shall I fear?

HE blesses those who seek HIM earnestly and fills the heart of the lonely.

JESUS sends me to the uttermost parts of the world to tell people about HIS SON.

JESUS was and is and is to come and HIS mercy, grace and love endures forever! amen
