Mary Sings Verse 1

For the wonder of God's love,
For the Word sent from a-bove,
Telling of the child I am to bear.
God Himself in human form,
As a humble baby born,
Come to save His people every-where.
I cry out with joy to God on High:
He has not passed His people by.
This child in me
Holds the keys of eterni-ty!
To His humble servant, grace is shown,
To me His blessing is made known;
Praised be His Name for-ever!

Elizabeth Sings Verse 2

I was called the barren one;
Now I am to bear a son
Who shall call our people to pre-pare
For the kingdom now to come,
For the High and Holy One,
As a prophet, mighty to de-clare.
I cry out with joy to God on High:
He has not passed His servant by.
My shame is gone,
In its place, there is a song!
For He heard my earnest prayer and plea,
The Lord of Life brings joy to me;
Praised be His Name for-ever!

Bridge - Mary

To the least of all His servants,
God has shown His love and care.
As we follow where He leads us,
In His blessing we will share.

Bridge - Elizabeth

We are vessels of the Master,
We are servants of the King.
We are humbled by the glorious news
The angel came to bring.

Mary And Elizabeth Sing Verse 3 Together

For the wonder of God's love,
For the Word sent from a-bove,
Jesus comes, the Way of Life to share.
God Himself in human form,
As a humble baby born,
Come to save His people every-where.
We cry out in joy to God on high:
He has not passed His people by.
In Him, we're free,
For He holds eterni-ty.
Though we're nothing special on our own,
His grace and mercy now are shown;
Praised be His Name for-ever!
