This adaptation of Mary's canticle (aka, The Magnificat found in Luke 1:46-54) featuring the lyrical crafting of Jennie Riddle and the honest vocals of JJ Heller, is humble folk song as simple as the virgin bride who originally voiced this ageless exaltation.
You will find this gentle, earthy hymn perfect for year round use.
My soul does magnify
The greatness of the Lord
On me His favor lights
In my Savior I rejoice
He has done mighty things
Holy is His name
All creatures under heav'n
Fear Him whose mercy reigns
He has proven His might
His arm’s outstretched with strength
He has scattered the proud
And brought down all vain conceit
He has lifted the lowly
Brings goodness to the poor
My Savior's love endures
My Savior's love endures
Oh Israel find your help
Solely in the Lord
His mercy's without end
His promise, He'll uphold
Glory be to the Father and Son
Glory be to the Spirit three in One
Glory be in the beginning and the end
Glory forever, Amen
