MARY’S PRAYER

MEDITATION

The people I see and know

Whom you made, and chose

Have become people with heads hung low

Ages of darkness have snuffed out hope

And then, me

Whom nobody sees

Whom nobody knows

Chosen!

An unremarkable person

Marked now by grace

To carry your Light

To bear your Gift

Fear said, “run away”

Who am I for a task so great?

Then into my fear, you spoke my name

And hesitation fled like darkness before a flame

Then I remembered your steadfast love

My ever-present comfort

If you say this shall be My God

I say, be it unto me.

You promised you would come again

How I’ve waited for this day!

You’ve said the time is here, now

I ask, Lord, how?

No mystery in your mind

My God, you know

My God, you see

Miracles belong to you alone

Maker, Master, and Merciful King

Savior, Immanuel

As real and near as my very flesh

Be it unto me

Salvation, come

Light, break

Brighter than the sun

Be it unto us

Be it through me
