Mary went to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth said that she was blessed.
And Mary began to give praise to God above.
Because the blessing of God sparks praise
In all of us.
Mary said that this was God’s promise to her forefathers.
Made in the house of fleshly man.
Which contained God in all his authority.
So all she could do was give thanks to God.

Zachariah was asked
By the people who were around him
What is the name of your child
Who was just born?
But he could not speak.
How could a man name his child
The most sacred of duties
With no tongue.
He would have to write it down.
And Zachariah did.
He wrote- His name is John.
And instantly his tongue was loosened from the ******* of silence.
Zachariah could speak again.
He praised God.
This child.
And the child of Mary
Would go on to do ministry together.

The angels in heaven.
Told God, It is our turn.
The father of the prophet has praised.
The mother of the Son of Man has praised too.
Even the prophet worships your holy name
From the comfort of the belly-sanctuary
He can conceive of your glory
And he is not yet conceived.
Let us praise in all our elegance.
Because you are the great and dreadful God.
Keeping the covenant because you love us.
God told them to proceed.
And they came down to Earth
The first mass choir.
An angelic host too numerous to be counted.
And only God knew all of their names.
They said Glory to God
Because favor had come from heaven to earth.
And when the angels went back to heaven.
We continued their praise to God above.
On Christmas and forevermore.
