Raphael – Annunciation
about 1502-1503
Oil on panel transferred to canvas, 27 x 50 cm
Rome, Pinacoteca Vaticana

Luke 1:26-38 – ESV

26In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

Gabriel’s Message

The angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow
His eyes as flame
“All hail” said he “thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!

“For known a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emanuel,
By seers foretold
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
“To me be as it pleaseth God,” she said,
“My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name.”
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!

Of her Emanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world forever saved
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!

I wanna give up again my love and live like a runaway.
Making bands in an alley way,
so I can dream of a better day.

Is there anyone left who will understand i am made of flesh and bone.
I tried to tell you on the telephone,
all I needed was a stepping stone.

This is the last time
I’m gonna let you down.
It’s finally over.
It’s finally over.

Every time I try to go to sleep you flood my memory.
Though I live like an absentee,
all I care is that you’ll reach for me.

I’m gonna burn that bridge and build a home with waters weaving underground (let you go).
Livin’ high and searching for the sound,
a silent wall and we tore it down.

This is the last time
I’m gonna turn around.
It’s finally over.
It’s finally over.

This is the last time
I’m gonna let you down.
It’s finally over.
It’s finally over.

This is the last time
I’m gonna turn around.
It’s finally over.
It’s finally over.

This is the last time
I’m gonna let you down.
It’s finally over.
It’s finally over.

Let me hold your hand my dear at least until the smoke has cleared.
Our love has turned towards your eye
I don’t know why I go in circles.

would i be a fool to think
that i could find recovery in every single lonely ride? I don’t know why I go in circles.

Hello everyone. I’d covet your prayers for a former student and current friend, Josh Howard as he serves the Lord in Slovakia. He’s asked that we pray for him, his neighbors, and his work in Eastern Europe. Josh is fulfilling the Great Commission in a profoundly encouraging way.

Here’s a link to his blog:

16th of June, nine 0 five, door bell rings
Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer
There’s a few things I need you to know. Three
Coming from a long line of travelling sales people on my mother’s side
I wasn’t gonna buy just anyone’s cockatoo
So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home
Would you?
These days are better than that
These days are better than that
Every day I die again, and again I’m reborn
Every day I have to find the courage
To walk out into the street
With arms out
Got a love you can’t defeat
Neither down or out
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
16th of June, Chinese stocks are going up
And I’m coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you’re fine, or dying
Please
Nine 0 nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine
But I’m running down the road like loose electricity
While the band in my head plays a striptease
The roar that lies on the other side of silence
The forest fire that is fear so deny it
Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
The people we meet
Will not be drowned out
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
Yeah, yeah
We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Walk out, into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I’ve found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it’s all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now
