Tune: Woodlands
('Tell out my soul')
Luke 1 v.39-45
*********
Mary arose, went into hill country
To a city of Judah, where there be
Elisabeth her relative, and she
Went into her home, all acceptably
Elisabeth, husband Zacharias
She said, We welcome your visit to us
At greeting of Mary, then the baby
In Elisabeth's womb did leap, so be
And she with the Holy Spirt was filled
Spake with loud voice, said, You blessed as God willed
And blessed your child that you will come to bear
Why this honour granted, that I should share?
That you, the mother of my Lord to me
Should come, for when I heard your greeting, see
The babe in my womb leaped for joy, could sense
You and your unborn child's gracious presence
And blessed you be, Mary, who have believed
And God's promise unto you have received
For it shall be fulfilled, shall be performed
The words spoken unto you from the Lord

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 10.10.10.10. A 'lesser festival' in the church year of 'Mary's visit to Elisabeth' (May 31). The hymn in the video is based on the words Mary said (or sang) immediately after the words of Elisabeth to her.

It’s nice art. I’m in Chicago and have somr recent anger, not toward the Lord, but toward the Cardinal and other diocesan Hierarchy for the orchestrated coverup of child abuse. I just can’t wrap my head around it , the acts are heinous and the coverup is selfishly self serving and without grace
Thanks Bobby. Yes, it's horrible. What you say, I mean. Erm, not the actual words of the comment. Doh! I will go back to sleep. heehee.
You have more than earned the benefit of the doubt Dear Poet. It’s funny, I just posted a piece pretending that I’m scared and nervous on first dates w pretty women. It’s a one minute read and I’m poking fun at myself. Title Measure Twice
Mary is an icon! She's the ultimate vessel of God.
Thanks Rocky.
