My Spirit Rejoices poem prayer
This poem riffs on the opening line of Mary's song, unpacking reasons why our souls rejoice in God. It moves towards Chrismas themes, and would work very well as part of a late Advent or Christmas service.
The repeated refrain could be picked up by a second speaker, or given to the congregation to say together.
Excerpt from the poem:
When I hear the sound of voices praising your name:
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
When I see compassion and kindness at work in the world:
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
When I sense your presence in the outworking of the day:
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
When you help me to keep going, though I want to give up:
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
When I glimpse your creativity in the wonder of the world:
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
When moments of holiness shine like diamonds in the dark:
My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour...
