“Blessed are you among women.”
“For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed.”
Verse 1
Throughout the ages God has worked
through humble hearts and faith;
He chooses those who trust His will
and fills their lives with grace.
Among the daughters of the earth,
one woman was prepared;
to bear the long-awaited Christ,
the Savior God declared.
The angel came from Heaven’s throne
with words not heard before:
“Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you,”
revealing Heaven’s door.
A greeting unlike any other,
a blessing from above;
announcing God’s great masterpiece,
His plan of saving love.
Pre-Chorus
The Lord had chosen Mary
before the ages passed;
to welcome Christ the Savior
when the fullness of time had come at last.
Chorus
Blessed among women,
favored by God’s grace;
all generations shall proclaim
the wonders of His grace.
Blessed among women,
the Mother of our Lord;
the servant who believed God’s promise
and trusted in His Word.
Verse 2
When Mary came to visit
Elizabeth with joy,
the Holy Spirit filled her heart
and caused her voice to rise.
“Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is your Son;”
the Spirit bore His witness
to the Holy One.
And blessed is she who believed
what God had promised true;
for every word the Lord had spoken
He would surely do.
Her soul magnified the Lord,
her heart rejoiced in grace;
and all generations would remember
the wonders of His grace.
Pre-Chorus
The mighty works of God
were shining for the world to see;
His mercy through the ages
revealed in holy mystery.
Chorus
Blessed among women,
favored by God’s grace;
all generations shall proclaim
the wonders of His grace.
Blessed among women,
the Mother of our Lord;
the servant who believed God’s promise
and trusted in His Word.
Bridge
Judith was called blessed
for saving Israel’s land;
yet Mary bore the Savior
according to God’s plan.
The heroes of the old covenant
reflected Heaven’s light;
but Mary carried Jesus,
the world’s eternal Light.
The honor given Mary
returns to God above;
for He prepared and chose her
within His saving love.
Final Chorus
Blessed among women,
as Scripture proclaims;
all generations shall call you blessed
and magnify God’s Name.
Blessed among women,
the Mother of God’s Son;
your life points every soul to Christ,
the Holy and Eternal One.
Blessed among women,
your song still fills the earth;
“My soul magnifies the Lord,”
who gave the Savior birth.
Closing
“For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed.”
“Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”
Amen.
