Prayer of Praise: Luke 1: 46-55

Here’s a paraphrase of Luke 1: 46-55 from Jonny Baker’s Worship Tricks website.

magnificat

My soul reaches out to God.
My Spirit rejoices in my Saviour
God sees that the humble heart is open
And implants his vision into it.

We are wombs of the Divine
Through giving birth to vision all generations can be blessed.

Those who revere God will find her merciful
But the proud will see only judgments.

Those who empty themselves of selfishness will be lifted up to God,
But those who cling to power cannot be lifted.

Those who are satiated have no room to receive
But the hungry will be filled with good things.
