Like a lullaby before the world began. Harp & wind chimes only. [Verse 1] (barely a whisper — harp gentle, wind chimes distant, voice warm & breathy, close to the ear) I was just a girl in a quiet place Hiding my heart in the stillness, waiting for grace The room grew bright, and an angel stood there Said "Do not be afraid, for the Lord is aware You have found favor, Mary — you’ll carry the King The Holy Spirit will overshadow you, and He shall bring The Son of the Most High, and He shall reign Over Jacob’s house, and His kingdom shall not wane" I trembled, and wondered — how can this be? I have known no man… I am nothing, You see… [Pre-Chorus] (harp swells softly, chimes breathe — voice tender, resolute) I am His handmaid, I am His own Let it be to me, Lord, according to Your word Not my will, not my plan, not my crown Just a heart that says yes, when You call me out… [Chorus] (soft, floating, like a lullaby — underwater reverb, distant & warm) My soul magnifies the Lord My spirit rejoices in God my Savior For He has looked on the lowly state Of His humble servant, and behold — great Is His name, holy and high He lifts up the lowly, He satisfies From generation to generation, His mercy flows Let it be to me — let it be so… [Verse 2] (softer still, intimate & heavy — harp slow, chimes faint) I traveled the hills with the child inside Wondered at the mystery, quiet and wide In a manger He lay — the Maker of all Wrapped in my arms, so small, so small I watched Him grow, I treasured each day Kept every moment, and pondered His way Then Simeon spoke — and my heart stood still "A sword shall pierce you, too, and your soul it shall kill" I held Him closer, and I didn’t understand But I knew I was held in His nail-scarred hand… [Chorus] (floating, ethereal, voice layered gently) My soul magnifies the Lord My spirit rejoices in God my Savior For He has looked on the lowly state Of His humble servant, and behold — great Is His name, holy and high He lifts up the lowly, He satisfies He has done great things for me — Holy is His name Let it be to me — just the same… [Bridge] (almost silent — only harp notes, voice like breath) He has scattered the proud in their hearts He has brought down rulers, lifted the small He has filled the hungry with good things Sent the rich away, empty hands He has helped His servant Israel Remembered mercy, faithful still To Abraham and his children forever… Let it be… let it be… [Outro] (fading into stillness — chimes only, then one last harp note) I am the Lord’s servant… May Your word to me… be fulfilled… Sleep now, my baby… Sleep, my King… (silence)
