Mary Immaculate
By Rev. Fr. Oluwafemi Victor Orilua CSSP
Intro
It is a form of slavery when we are useful where we cannot get our fulfilment. Our ultimate fulfilment lies in our unique destiny.
Mary never knew her own unique destiny until the angel came to make it known to her, and having known her vocation, she became the mother to all generations. Let us call on her to intercede for us
VERSE 1
Mary never knew that she was made for this.
Mary never knew she’d be mother of the Word Incarnate.
She was perplexed! Questioning the angel
Having heard the soothing words of Gabriel
She humbly bowed, embraced her destiny.
With perseverance she fulfilled the mandate
Chorus
Mary immaculate, Mary mother of God
Intercede for us, stay close, your Son is here.
Mary immaculate, Mary mother of Jesus
Intercede for us, stay close, your Son is here.
VERSE 2
God does not command,
Command the impossible
He works in us to will and to do.
Before the foundation,
Foundation of the world
He has chosen us, in Christ.
For His own kind, purpose, and destiny
That we may give all He asks of us.
Chorus
OUTRO (RECITE)
As in the garden, Satan the hype man
Inciting us to attempt marvels beyond us. Just to break down,
Dampening our spirit, that we may be afraid of what is within our power to do
Though an enemy to her offspring, the woman shall crush his head.
Lord, I want to know, to know my limits. Show me, my strengths.
I want to know how much you have deposited in me. Like Mary, make me do your will.
