Favored Mary

I picture Mary smiling, aglow like no other pregnant woman in history! How a song must have carried her through the pregnancy! [Verse 1] An angel called me blessed Though promised to be wedded It was through me That Christ would be born I, a virgin Was favored of the Lord Glory from on high Overshadowed I was filled with light [Pre-Chorus] My womb... hallowed Just like the ark, showed It was overshadowed I, too, carried Jesus within me [Chorus] My soul was filled with glory The mighty one has done great things All generations will acclaim I was the virgin Mary, the same Praise be to the Lord That I was favored Holiness to grow within May my smile never grow thin [Verse 2] This greatest honor to be was brought By Him who scatters those who are proud Even in their most inner thoughts I was favored, I was sought out [Pre-Chorus] Glory from on high Overshadowed I was filled with light My womb... hallowed It was overshadowed [Chorus] My soul was filled with glory The mighty one has done great things All generations will acclaim I was the virgin Mary, the same Praise be to the Lord That I was favored Holiness to grow within May my smile never grow thin [Bridge] Blessed among women Kept by mercy's hand Humble and chosen I would stand He saw me He called me by name And through my body His promise came [Chorus] My soul was filled with glory The mighty one has done great things All generations will acclaim I was the virgin Mary, the same Praise be to the Lord That I was favored Holiness to grow within May my smile never grow thin
