Bursting with God-news

Oh, how my soul praises the Lord.
How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
I’m bursting with God-news;
I’m dancing the song of my Savior God.
For he took notice of his lowly servant girl,
God took one good look at me, and look what happened—
I’m the most fortunate woman on earth!
What God has done for me will never be forgotten,
the God whose very name is holy, set apart from all others.
For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things for me.
He shows mercy from generation to generation
His mercy flows in wave after wave
on those who are in awe before him.

Luke 1:46-50 (The Message ~ NLT in italics)
