Mother Mary, full of grace, awaken.
All our homes are gone, our loved ones taken.
Taken by the sea.
Mother Mary, calm our fears, have mercy.
Drowning in a sea of tears, have mercy.
Hear our mournful plea.
Our world has been shaken
We wander our homelands forsaken.
In the dark night of the soul
Bring some comfort to us all;
Oh mother Mary, come and carry us in your embrace
That our sorrows may be faced.
Mary, fill the glass to overflowing.
Illuminate the path where we are going.
Have mercy on us all.
In funeral fires burning
Each flame to your mystery returning.
In the dark night of the soul
Your shattered dreamers, make them whole.
Oh mother Mary, find us where we've fallen out of grace;
Lead us to a higher place.
In the dark night of the soul
Our broken hearts you can make whole.
Oh mother Mary, come and carry us in your embrace.
Let us see your gentle face, Mary.

We are bringing God to birth, bringing love to earth.
We are bringing God to birth, bringing love to earth.
Once you called a woman dear, called her out beyond her fear.
Now you call me, who am I, to bring your love to earth and sky?
I'm the vessel, you the seed; plant your love for all in need.
Prepare this place for love to bloom, this my body, this my womb.
Now your Spirit grows within, melting darkness, washing sin,
Be the one whose love reveals, comforts, strengthens, holds and heals.
Move me here where I am cold. Make me strong and make me bold
for the work I'm meant to do, birthing Spirit ever new.
When the time for birth is near: pushing, pressing, blood and tears;
gentle maid of Nazareth, give me courage, give me breath.
Holding Christ now in my hands, threat of war throughout the lands,
with these hands I offer peace to the greatest and the least.
Mary, Mother, laughing yes, with your strength and tenderness,
Let my "yes" be joined with yours - healing spirits, opening doors.
Christ the Child, newborn king, Christ the presence now we bring
through our lives and through our song; this the home where love belongs.

My soul shall praise and magnify you Lord,
Yes, I will come.
Yes, I have come.
I hear your voice is calling out my name.
Into my life, you shall be born.
All generations praise to hold with me.
This sacred heart,
my beating heart.
My soul is placed into this fire of love
Yes, it becomes
God’s will be done.
The proud cannot hear beyond their words
their thoughts enclosed
so stale and old.
The rich cannot receive what they don’t own
this emptiness, this spaciousness.
All generations praise to hold with me
this sacred heart, my beating heart.
My soul is placed into this fire of love
Yes, it becomes, God’s will be done.
Spread out the feast, let those in hunger come
your face be shown, your love made known.
The humble hear your voice, with you they sing
Magnificat. Magnificat.
All generations praise to hold with me
this sacred heart, my beating heart.
My soul is placed into this fire of love,
Yes, it becomes, God’s will be done.
Reach out to touch the world that is to come,
Magnificat, Magnificat.

Mary invites us deeper into the gifts of the sacred feminine for our lives. She calls us to listen more closely to the wisdom of our dreams, intuition, synchronicities, our bodies, and nature rather than always relying on planning, striving, and doing. We approach Mary through a poetic and mythic path, expanding upon her scriptural presence, and finding her alive within each of us.
From Queen of Angels to Star of the Sea, Greenest Branch to Vessel of Grace, Our Lady of the Underworld to Mother of Sorrows, and many other archetypal names, this album invites you to sing and dance more deeply with Mary’s vibrant presence leading us all to a renewed vision for the world.
