In the book of Luke we find 4 songs surrounding the birth of Jesus. These first Christmas songs were meant to clear a space in the lives of the people singing them as they prepared for the birth of Jesus. For us these songs do the same. They clear out the clutter, and give room to reflect on our Kings arrival 2000 years ago, and anticipate his arrival to come once again.
In Mary's song we see how her own social status points to a greater upheaval to come. Through her son God will bring down rulers from their throne and exalt the poor and the humble. He is going to turn the whole world order upside down.
