Blessed

,

At the sound of Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaped within her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me?…”
Luke 1:41-43 NLT

Blessed woman
no longer barren
life growing
to prepare the way.

Blessed girl
life turned upside down
light growing
to save the world.

Anointed heads
overflowing cups
goodness and mercy
coming down.

Blessed are we
no longer barren
life growing
to prepare the way.

Blessed are we
lives turned upside down
light growing
to save the world.

You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalm 23: 5-6 NIV
