If I say yes, where will it lead?
All my life was planned until your angel came
If I say yes, what will it mean?
To accept this life, my child, your Son, the King
Be it done to me, according to your word
Be it done to me, by the working of your power
Be it done to me, my life is yours, my heart
I am your handmaid, my Lord, I am your handmaid, my Lord
If I trust you to guide my steps,
Will I shed more tears than laugh, in the days to come?
Will I wake lonely in the night?
Will Joseph still be at my side?
Be it done to me, according to your word
Be it done to me, by the working of your power
Be it done to me, my life is yours, my heart
I am your handmaid, my Lord, I am your handmaid, my Lord
If I let your Spirit fall on me
Will you give me the strength I need?
When I see my Son
When I see my Lord
When I see my God
Torn and bruised because he loved. . .
Be it done to me, according to your word
Be it done to me, by the working of your power
Be it done to me, my life is yours, my heart
I am your handmaid, my Lord, I am your handmaid, my Lord.

Grateful today for…
Mary’s “Yes!”
A lovely dinner with Holly and Matt and family.
Lunch with Julie.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Singing in choir, especially “Once in Royal David’s City”
Chasing Jane through the church.
Playing hide and seek in the church with Jack and Jane (and what wonderful places to hide!)
Shaker eggs
Rides to church on cold, dark mornings
Sunshine glowing on snowy mountains
