Mary Favored of the Lord

An angel called me blessed

though I was to be wedded

It was through me  that Christ would be born!

I, a virgin, was highly favored of the Lord

Glory from on high

Overshadowed

I was filled with light

My womb... hallowed

Just like the ark, showed

It was overshadowed

I, too, carried

Jesus within me

My soul was filled with glory

The mighty one has done great things

All generations will acclaim

I was the virgin Mary, the same

This greatest honor to be was brought

By Him who scatters those who are proud

Even in their most inner thoughts

I was favored, I was sought out 

Praise be to the Lord

That I was favored

Holiness to grow within

May my smile never grow thin
