Rejoice and Praise

Reflections on faith, hope, and the quiet journey with Christ

A song celebrating Mary’s courageous yes to God and the invitation to trust His grace in our own lives.

There was a young woman,
Chosen by God,
An angel came before her
With a message from above.
Troubled, she pondered,
“How will this be?”
She could not see the road ahead,
Or where that road would lead.

Grace had already found her
Before her answer came.
She questioned, listened, trusted—
And whispered, “Let it be.”

Mary said yes,
And welcomed the promise of God.
The Word became flesh,
And came to dwell with us.
Jesus, Emmanuel,
Heaven drawing near—
She could not see where faith would lead,
Yet still she answered yes.

Her yes became a journey
Through roads she could not know,
From Bethlehem to Nazareth,
Watching Jesus grow.
She saw Him heal the broken,
She heard the people call,
And when His road became the Cross,
She stood beside Him through it all.

The child that she had carried
Now carried all our pain.
And in the darkness of the garden,
A yes was heard again.

Jesus said yes,
Though anguish filled the night:
“Not My will, but Yours be done.”
Love freely gave His life.

The spotless Lamb surrendered,
Mercy opened wide;
The way back to the Father
Was opened through the Son.

I have been crucified with Christ;
It is no longer I who live.
Christ is living now in me—
His life is mine to live.

Holy Spirit, dwell within me,
Lead me where You will.
When I cannot see the road ahead,
Teach me to trust You still.

Mary could not see the ending
When first she answered yes.
She only knew the God who called
And placed her trust in Him.
From a promise to a manger,
From the manger to the Cross,
Grace was there through every step;
Not one was ever lost.

Mary said yes,
Though she could not see.
Jesus said yes,
“Your will be done in Me.”
And grace is here before us,
Still calling us to trust—
We may not see where faith will lead,
But God has gone before us.

Mary said yes.
Jesus said yes.
And grace is with us still—
Grace to trust,
Grace to love,
Grace to answer—
“Let it be.”

The Word became flesh
And dwelt among us.
Christ gave Himself
And opened the way home.

Grace was there before the answer.
Grace remained along the way.
And still, within each faithful heart,
God invites another yes.
