Alzheimers Magnificat (2004)
My soul proclaims God's glory
Do you know my story?
My spirit exults the Lord
Can you hear my word?
Who favored a lowly servant
I'm lowly too, and bent.
... and holy is the name of God.
All people will call me blest.
Where will I find rest?
God has done good for me;
I can only see darkly ...
God's mercy lasts forever.
Can you turn my page?
... and holy is the name of God.
God has shown a strong arm
Protect me from harm.
and has scattered the conceited;
Who has pride anymore?
God has pulled rulers from thrones
Why am I Alone?
and has lifted up the lowly.
I'm lowly too, and bent.
... and holy is the name of God.
God has filled the hungry,
Will you feed me?
but given the rich nothing.
Am I anything?
God has aided a servant,
What's my name?
in remembrance of God's mercy.
Do you remember me?
... and holy is the name of God.
