Day 13 – Isaiah 7 verses 13 – 15a (Our souls shall magnify (Isaac Watts)
Bible Reading Isaiah 7 verses 13 – 15a
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. 15 He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right

Reflection
A time for your own reflection
Read the passage again and spend a little time thinking of how the passage speaks to you. The wonder of scripture is that there is always something new to discover and each passage speaks to us in our own need and circumstances.
Only if you feel you want to – share your thoughts with someone. God inspires our thoughts and you never know, the person you share with may be waiting to hear what you have to say.
Song
Here is the next song –
“Our souls shall magnify the Lord”
When I started writing these songs I had a little panic that I would not manage to complete the required number. I looked at an Isaac Watts song to modify in the same way as I have updated the Charles Wesley ones. Having pondered it for a few days and tinkered a little I decided that the words were fine as they were. So, this is the only song in the series which is only a changed tune and has no input from me on the words. I really like it so I hope you will excuse me still using it.
It is a little symphonic rock in style.
Title: Our souls shall magnify
Words: Isaac Watts
Music: Generated on Suno.com
Our souls shall magnify the Lord,
In God the Savior we rejoice:
While we repeat the Virgin’s song,
May the same Spirit tune our voice!
The Highest saw her low estate,
And mighty things his hand hath done:
His overshadowing power and grace
Makes her the mother of his Son.
Let ev’ry nation call her blest,
And endless years prolong her fame;
But, God alone must be ador’d:
Holy and reverend is his name.
To those that fear and trust the Lord,
His mercy stands for ever sure:
From age to age his promise lives,
And the performance is secure.
He spake to Abram and his seed,
“In thee shall all the earth be blessed;”
The memory of that ancient word
Lay long in his eternal breast.
But now no more shall Isr’el wait,
No more the Gentiles lie forlorn:
Lo, the desire of nations comes, behold;
Behold, the promised seed is born!
To those that fear and trust the Lord,
His mercy stands for ever sure:
From age to age his promise lives,
And the performance is secure – is secure.
To those that fear and trust the Lord,
His mercy stands for ever sure:
From age to age his promise lives,
And the performance is secure.
He spake to Abram and his seed,
“In thee shall all the earth be blessed;”
The memory of that ancient word
Lay long in his eternal breast.
But now no more shall Isr’el wait,
No more the Gentiles lie forlorn:
Lo, the desire of nations comes;
Behold, the promised seed is born!
