Mary Said Yes
By Ellen M. McCauley
How the world was changed forever
By one young girl who chose to say yes.
All alone, confused and frightened,
She trusted God and gave Him her best.
Trumpets sounded in Heaven.
Joyful Angels wept with gladness.
Our salvation was born of a woman,
With her free will she chose to say yes.
God had said the mother of Jesus
Was picked to be a woman most blessed.
She replied, when asked by His angel,
“Let what you have said be done to me, yes”.
She, the favored one’s been chose to
Bear the precious Son of the Lord
Hail to Mary full of God’s grace
For through her child forgiveness was poured.
Upon this day we all should remember,
The one small word that started this fest.
Word made flesh to take on our burdens
It all came true when Mary said, “Yes”.
She cried, “Yes, I trust in You Lord.
Yes, I’ll do as you say
Yes, my will, will be what Your will is
From this day on; each and every day.
We can learn so much from her courage,
When we are faced by trials of our own.
Faith is born, a child in a manger
And with Him peace like the world’s never known.
Join celestial choirs
Words from hearts unfurl
Sing of trust that lives on forever
And drowns all doubt left behind in this world.
