  • This song was originally written by Chris Eaton, but Amy Grant wanted to record it and asked Chris if she could rewrite some of the lyrics from a woman's perspective, namely Mary. Chris agreed. So this is Amy's version. The images are from the wonderful movie "Nativity Story"; if you have not seen it, do it, whether it's Christmastime or not.

      No. The essence of the song tells us she is frightened, unsure, lonely and afraid. As we all are when we are caught or confused or struggling with a reason to believe. She trusts something larger and herself and quite mysterious. There was no Christianity for Mary. Fully human, Jewish and confused, she worked hard to trust the mystery. That's the idea anyway. As we all do.

    One of my favorites. Not only what it meant for Mary to carry Jesus inside of her, but for what it means for me, a believer and follower of Jesus, to realize the life of Jesus inside of me. Francis Schaeffer wrote that just as Mary bore the fruit of Christ into a dark and lost world, so to we as Christians must bear the fruit of Christ into a dark and lost world.

    This is a holy song. Weighty and specific in it's cry for God's divine guidance and direction. Though sung as (as a perspective) through Mary's eyes to what she "may" have been feeling; surely these words can be applied to our own lives as we focus and many times struggle to walk uprightly in a world where many act as if God doesn't exist.
    "Do You wonder, as You watch my face, if a wiser one should have had my place?" "But I offer all I am, for the mercy of Your plan, Help me be strong..." Such words communicate the deepest cries of the human heart from those who yearn to please God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength. Breath of Heaven, hold me together...(spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically)? We need You Lord, more than desperately... Praise Him, for He's worthy.

      You did not say the following explicitly but I feel that I need to say the following... Mary was, indeed a tool, mightily used by God to bring His Son into the world. She declared Christ to be her "Saviour" in the "Magnificat" & a sinless woman (Pope Pius IX declaring her to be the "immaculate conception" in December 1854, declaring that she, as well as Christ, was sinless)!! A sinless person does not need a Saviour!! She was also not a perpetual virgin (also so-declared by Rome)! In Matthew 13 v 55&56 we read, "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary & his brother's names James, Joses, Simon & Judas & his sisters, are they not all with us? She was a woman mightily used by God but calling her "the Mother of God" (Council of Ephesus, 431) is also blasphemy. She was a mighty person of faith but never "co-Redemptrix" (so declared on June 26, 1913). However, Rome back-peddled on this when it's theology proved unpopular & tremendously difficult for Rome to explain well enough so that it's own people didn't revolt). Her reward, in heaven will be great but she will NOT sit on the right-hand of God! That seat is Christ's alone!

      I see you quoted me without carrying to speak directly to me. I would like to ask you a question then. Why do you ask family members to pray for you? Why does all of Christianity virtually have the custom as asking people to "pray for them?" Isn't it a waste of time when you could go straight to Jesus?

    • @winogirlll
      @winogirlll 7 років тому +4

    • @annaberlinger9295
      @annaberlinger9295 7 років тому +25

      @superbreadgirl05 I am sorry for you misunderstanding. This is a popular myth about Catholics, but we DO NOT IN ANY WAY "exalt Mary as if she's God." All we do is ask her to pray for us, as the closest human to Jesus (being his mother). We see her as a mediatrix, meaning someone who as God's mother is close enough to Him to ask for favors on our behalf. So yes, she's a big deal, but no we do not worship her or even pray TO her. We pray TO Jesus THROUGH Mary. We only do what Jesus Himself did when He brought salvation to the world through a human. He didn't have to do that, but he chose to, making Mary the new Eve...just as Eve assisted in the death of mankind through Sin, Mary assists in the redemption of mankind through Jesus. Again, in case I wasn't clear, CATHOLICS DO NOT SEE MARY AS DIVINE. I cannot stress that enough. Also, "Catholic" means "universal" which is not the same thing as "all accepting." Here's two articles that show the multiple places in the Bible that encourage praying for the dead and the importance of requesting the intercession of those who have passed away. www.ewtn.com/faith/teachings/maryc4.htm

      Before there was religions there was Jesus. Jesus was not a Christian. The fathers of faith structured what became the Catholic Church around the demand at the Last Supper by the Lord to remember him, for he will return. The Euchurist and the wine mixed with water (the bases of life) are his only physical vehicles. His Spirit is the way. Pray you receive his invitation. You do not choose; you are chosen.
