Visitation
By: Sondra Stallman

Young Mary was chosen by God Most High
To bring forth a Savior who was born to die
So to Mary the Angel went,
Bearing the message
That was Heaven sent

“Be not afraid!” the Angel said
“You have Favor with God
And I’ve come in His stead

To bring you a Word you know not of
A prophecy to bring to Earth God’s Love!

For you will conceive by the Holy Ghost
And stand in awe with the Heavenly Host
A child will be born named Jesus the Son
He will be Great and His Kingdom will come!

Mary said to the Angel, ‘How can this be?
I’m unmarried as yet and no man has known me.”

The Angel said, “God will give you a son!
And He shall be called the “Holy One.
This child is a Gift that God will send
And of His Kingdom there shall be no end.”

Mary no longer was filled with dread
“So be it to me as you have said”
She spoke to the angel

He then took his leave

But the words rang out

“Blessed is she who believed”

(from the story of Christmas : Luke Chapter One)
