What Maid is This

By Amanda Pizzolatto aka Aurora Mandeville (Rated G)

What Maid is this, so gentle and mild
Upon whom God is constantly smiling
And to whom is sent, a questioning announcement
To see if she would be willing.

This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man
Hail, hail maid full of grace
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate

The angel Gabriel surprises thee
With the proclamation of God’s favor
And presents thee with an important decision
That will raise you above angels and men forever

This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man
Hail, hail maid full of grace
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate

Once knowing the message is from God
And knowing the prophecies, every word
She quickly gives her answer
Behold the handmaid of the Lord

This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man
Hail, hail maid full of grace
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate

Upon getting the answer, the Spirit acts
And claims her as His own for eternity
And plants in her the Sacred Seed
The Second Person in the Holy Trinity

This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man
Hail, hail maid full of grace
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate

Oh blessed one, Mother of God
How come you to see me
The swords shall pierce your blessed heart
At the ultimate Sacrifice you will see

This, this is the blessed woman
From whom God would take the nature of man
Hail, hail maid full of grace
Your answer will determine mankind’s fate

This, this is the Virginal Queen
Sitting on the right of her Son, the King
Hail, hail Maid full of grace
Your fiat gave us hope and salvation
