One of my favorite songs set to the scripture from Luke 1:46-56. 

Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat

46 And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord, 47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.     For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,     and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is for those who fear him     from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm;     he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; 52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones     and exalted those of humble estate; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things,     and the rich he has sent away empty. 54 He has helped his servant Israel,     in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he spoke to our fathers,     to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

Good Shepherd of my soul Come dwell within me. Take all I am and mould Your likeness in me. Before the cross of Christ This is my sacrifice: A life laid down And ready to follow. The troubled find their peace In true surrender. The prisoners their release From chains of anger. In springs of living grace I find a resting place To rise refreshed, Determined to follow. I'll walk this narrow road With Christ before me Where thorns and thistles grow And cords ensnare me. Though doubted and denied He never leaves my side But lifts my head And calls me to follow. And when my days are gone My strength is failing He'll carry me along Through death's unveiling Earth's struggles overcome Heav'n's journey just begun To search Christ's depths And ever to follow.
