Singing with Simeon

I enjoyed so much my attempt to sing with Mary a week ago, in preparation this weekend's sermon on the prophets Simeon and Anna, I had another go. See December 21st blog, Singing with Mary, for my contemporary version of her Magnificat!

(read Luke 2:29-32 for the originial version of Simeon's song)

O God, my leader, just like you said you would,
you can send me home now!
because I am soooo content.
I got to see it!- Your plan to save,
and you did it out here for everybody to watch and see!
Wow!
Your Brightness shines into the dark, scary places where lost folks try to hide,
your illumination honors all of your children.

Thanks be to you, God!
