This is a Marian song from John Burland from the collection, All Are Welcome Here.
It is a catchy pop song, so different from many songs on this topic, and would suit Advent at schools especially. I can usually tell when Advent is coming because Mangan’s “Mary Said Yes” gets a lot of hits here, and this is for older young people and maybe older people who wish they were young still.
I made a backing.
1 An angel sent to Nazareth
With a message from the Holy One.
Mary you are favoured the Lord is with you
You will bear God’s only Son
and great will be his name.
For nothing is impossible
with the Lord our God.Chorus
I place my trust in you O God,
In your mercy, in your glory & might.
My spirit sings with joy O God
In wonder every nation will sing.God reigns
God reigns
God reigns
2 Yes, to you O God above
I’ll live within your love
To care for Him the Promised One
As the mother of your Son.Chorus
Bridge
I am the servant of the Lord
May it be done to me
According to your word
God reigns
God reigns
God reigns
God reignsChorus
