The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Mary

What words do I hear?
What spirit fills my heart?
Am I to bear the Son of God?

These words say rejoice,
But my Spirit trembles
What will my Beloved say?

I will trust in my Lord
For I am His handmaiden
Let His Will be done to me this day.

What's this I hear?
Elizabeth, a son
What miracle the Lord has done

To her must I go for
I hear my Spirit call
To proclaim to her the good news I've heard

	Oh Mary, you are Blessed
	The child within your womb
	Is the salvation of the World

	Oh Mary, you are Holy
	You trusted in the Lord
	Why have you come to visit me? (tell me)

My soul proclaims the Glory of the Lord
For Joy he has put inside my Heart
Down he has gazed upon my lowliness
And High he has lifted me up
For Holy, Holy, Holy is His Name
Merciful and Mighty is He to his servants
To the humble, hungry, lowly, He shows His favor
My Heart rests in Him
My Heart rests in Him

	Mary, you are Blessed
	The child within your womb
	Is the Hope for all Nations of the world

	Mary, you are Holy
	You listened and obeyed
	Teach me to hear your Jesus call
	Teach me to hear your Jesus call...
