From Luke 1:46-47: “And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.'”
Advent’s journey
Following Savior’s star
Walking toward Bethlehem
Nurturing hope from afar
Advent’s patience
Sowing fresh seeds of hope
Harvesting heavenly peace
Grasping eternity’s rope
Advent’s witness
Wrapping faith in God’s Word
Waiting for hope to be born
Seeing prophecy unblurred
Advent’s treasures
Rising without fanfare
Revealing Messiah’s hope
Answering every prayer
Advent’s cleansing
Leaving darkness for light
Replacing man’s sins with hope
Raising redemption forthright
Advent’s glory
Sharing from hope above
Bearing world’s ultimate joy
Believing in Father’s love
From Luke 1:54-55: [Mary continues speaking] “‘He has come to the aid of His child Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, according to the promise He made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.'”
