Songs from Study of Mary's Song

Here are some songs of praise from women studying Luke 1 this fall:

From Ashley Baker:
My heart believes in your true word
My Savior, My best friend
Thank you Father for salvation,
For my soul would be lost
Your grace has poured into my life
Like a stream of refreshing water on my face
Your love seeps into my veins,
Overpowering me with your faithfulness
The promises of life I wait for patiently and confidently
As the true word of your gospel spills off my lips
May your light of salvation shine into the hearts of the lost
And your promises be fufilled
As I place my hope in you alone.

from Kim Hughes:

My soul has declared in the past, and will keep on declaring, that the You are great, Lord.
My spirit has rejoiced in times past, and will keep on choosing to rejoice in You, Jesus, my Savior and God.
Please grace me to do so, I pray.
I am Your bondslave. You can do what You so choose with me for Your purposes. Somehow You have chosen to look at me and care for me and my life. I am blessed and my children are blessed too. Salvation had been granted our household and I pray that one day Reagan will walk in the blessing of salvation herself and her children’s children will also reverence You.
Many are the awesome things You have done for me. You are stronger than sin, and You have conquered death. Though life is a daily struggle and pain wants to win over my disposition and view, thus far You have brought me.
May mine be a heart that is humble in its thoughts, what a battle that is, Lord. Please help me.
It is You that has provided all that I have ever had, all I need now, and all that I will ever need. Especially in the circumstances in which I find myself now, You will provide. You are my Source.
Father, You told Eve in the garden that the Savior would come. You told Abraham the same, and now, daily, You are reminding me, that Jesus has come - and I am Yours and You are mine.
Thank You for the times I have stood before the 130 children You bring to me each day to sow the seeds of salvation, and allowed me to see the generations that will stand and bless Your name that will come one day from them. Holy is Your name.


from Noelani Ferguson:

My heart is glad with my Lord and Savior.
He has rescued my soul from the depths of murky sin and restored it with his grace.
Oh Heavenly Father, I bless your name, the name above all names.
You have never left your people, you are steadfast and faithful.
Great is the God of Israel who was and is and is to come, who knows all and sees all.
In His greatness he still gives us comfort in our doubt and weakness.
Merciful God, may I know you more and more to bless you everyday of the life you have given me.
