Lyrics
My soul glorifies God my Lord — my love, my life, my hope, my all.
I sing to my God Who remains in me today because Maria said yes to God that day of faith,
The day the angel came to say she was blessed, so blessed by God forever, forever, forever.
The Lord Yahweh is love — love, love, love, love.
Oh, God, will you be, be my love, my love.
The Mighty One has done great things for me,
And His mercy from age to age is to those who fear Him,
Is to those who fear Him, now and forever,
Always Love, Love, Love, God my love, my Lord.
Oh, Israel, God He heard your prayer.
The hungry He filled, remembering His promise to Abraham and our fathers, and God’s servant, oh, Israel.
Hananiah, Azzariah, and Maria – they bless the Lord,
For He has saved us from the raging fires from death to life forever.
Oh love, love, bless God, bless God, bless God, Lord, Lord Jesus, with the angels.
He conquered the arrogant of mind and heart.
The rulers He cast down from their thrones, and the rich He sent away without their gold.
And Jesus, Jesus, lifted up the lowly Maria because, because she loved, she loved, her Savior, holy Wisdom, forever and ever and always.
And His Mercy from age to age is to those who fear Him.
Is to those who fear Him.
