Let it be...

Luke 1:38

Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

Let it be...

Let me do your will

Even though that means

I'll be cast out

Ostracised

Gossiped about

Even though

some will hate and revile me

and others will shake their heads 

and feel sorry for me

Let it be...

For I am God's servant

And one day

when mothers need a song of protest

they will take up my song

One day

when women need strength

to break out of their oppression

they will take courage

from my story

Let it be...

For there is strength in weakness

and courage in obedience

and joy in surrender

Let it be
