[GABRIEL deep male voice– beat soft, ethereal, starts a cappella] I don’t come with thunder, don’t bring flame But I bear a word that will change your name Mary of Naz’reth—low in station You’ve been chosen for a holy invasion (beat drops, strings enter) You’re highly favored—the Lord is with you You’re scared, I see it—but this is true You’ll bear a son, and the world will see He’ll reign forever, set the captives free Call him Jesus—salvation’s sound No throne on earth can hold him down He’ll rise from dust, from Galilee The Son of the Most High—let it be ⸻ [MARY – female voice quiet, rising into rhyme] Wait—me? I’m a girl, unseen, unheard No crown, no coin, no claim, no word You say I’m chosen… but I don’t see how I’m not ready, not worthy—not now What will they say? What will they do? Will Joseph stay? Will this fall through? How do I carry the weight of a king— When I barely know what life will bring? ⸻ [GABRIEL deep male voice– calm, firm] The Spirit will cover, the power will guide No shame in this—no need to hide Your cousin Elizabeth’s bearing a son Nothing’s impossible when God’s begun ⸻ [MARY – female voice slow, steady build to power] I don’t need to know the plan I don’t need to understand If this is what my Lord has willed Then I’ll be brave, I’ll be still I’m the servant, let it be I’ll carry hope—inside of me Let the heavens write my name Not for glory—not for fame ⸻ [ENSEMBLE – layered, urgent, overlapping whispers] Let it be Let it rise Let the truth Pierce the skies Let her voice Break the mold Let this girl Birth the bold ⸻ [MARY – female voice final line, spotlight] I don’t have the answers, but I have the fire If love is calling—then I’ll climb higher Let it be done just as you say A new world starts today.
