Great Expectation (My Magnificat)

 

 

 

Holy Spirit come unto me, with your great favor descend...

 

Don't go away turned out from my heart because there was no room within.

 

You shall not send me away empty, You fill me with promise and hope and light.

 

Let the anticipation of the ages, Great expectations be born in my heart on this night.

 

Fulfill all our dreams in a son given to break our oppression and chains.

 

I will magnify you, most holy One, enter me and this world shall be changed.

 

Time is pregnant with promise, filled with great expectation

 

The hope of all mankind arrives with our anticipation

 

Enthroned on the praises of  His Holy Nation.
