Mary's powerful prophetic song

Elaine Storkey unpacks one of the most powerful and often-repeated passages in the Bible, which came from the lips of a young woman

Study passage: Luke 1:39-56

I love the way every generation of Christians produces its own music for worship. We have been greatly blessed over the last few decades by the outpouring of inspired songwriters who have brought their deep faith in God into their music. It’s wonderful also to sing the songs of the generations before us and be drawn into their faith. One particular song, derived from Luke’s Gospel, has been sung from the earliest centuries of Christian worship. It was sung in Latin by nuns and monks, and in different languages across many denominations down through the ages.
