Francesca Battistelli - "Be Born In Me (Mary)" with lyrics

(The instrumental section ends at 1:43.)
"Be Born In Me" is a gorgeous, reflective song penned by Nichole Nordeman and beautifully sung by Francesca Battistelli. Written from Mary's point of view, Nordeman weaves an insightful picture of what Mary may have felt upon learning that she would be carrying the Son of God as her child.
During the instrumental section at the beginning of the song, I included verses from Luke 1: 30-33 where Gabriel visits Mary as these verses flow quite naturally into the song itself.
As we steadily approach the Christmas season, this song is a calm and introspective piece that matches the occasion perfectly.
Note I: This song is part of an entire album called Music Inspired by The Story dedicated to songs from the points of view of various Old and New Testament characters. The scope is meant to be rather epic in size (hence the orchestration throughout the album).
Note II: No copyright infringement is intended. I only wish to share how I envisioned the music translated to video format.

This song is so beautiful and heartfelt ❤😪

[@michaelgroetsch4751]

This song helped me when my late Mom died on Christmas Day of 2016.....it still helps me to this day !

[@mwendabaimwendabai4923]

My mum said something to me today, something I have heard all my life but today it was like the first time. She said, "Let go of whatever it is that will hinder you from seeing and being with God. Let go of hatred and anger towards each other. Not the things that people can see on the inside but the things on the inside that only you and God can see. Those are the things you need to work on, and everything else on the outside will follow suit. Remember that forgiveness was only obtained through the sacrifice of Jesus' blood." I love you mum...

The term "heartstrings" is defined by this song. When that bass violin comes in, it triggers my soul and floods my heart with emotion. Beyond beautiful.. It is from the musical "The Story" The music is written Bernie Herms and lyrics by Nichole Nordeman

When we ask Jesus to come into our hearts, we are born again. I think this song also speaks of every Christian's journey. If we love the Lord our God with all our hearts, our minds, our strength, He will give us, our destiny, just like Mary .

[@MCeili]

I am not sure why I love this song so much. Considering that I was born and raised a Druid. But alas I love this song it always makes me get teary eyed.

[@sondrapoorbaugh6986]

This song is so beautiful and brings out such emotion in me. As a mother of a son I can only imagine Mary's fear of being chosen by God to be the mother of our Saviour. Her joy of being a mom, her feelings that she pondered in her heart and the crushing pain of losing her son. "I'll hold you in the beginning, you will hold me in the end, every moment in the middle make my heart your Bethlehem" such powerful words and it brings tears to my eyes. Her beautiful and innocent son chose to be crucified because he loves us so much. Saved by grace, one day I will stand in the sweet presence of Jesus.

I cry eveytime I hear those lyrics. It's stirs so much emotion in me. To know young Mary held baby Jesus, the Son of God. Loved him with all her heart. In the end she endured pain we can't imagine and her beautiful perfect son held her as she said good bye. I have a son and can't imagine her joy and pain she experienced.

Wow its like she is speaking. For Mary the young woman who was the mother of Jesus but still at a young age and living in an time full of great trouble for the child that enter that time and place I feel that she was a scared about giving. Birth the pain for a women. She was not brave but she trusted the Lord and then gave birth to Jesus and placed him in a manger.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Christian radio is not much more than a sham now. They'd rather play old secular Christian songs than a treasure like this. Beautiful testimony for your *living* Mom though. She is where we want to be, and someday will.

Outstanding job on this video. I've made a lot of videos myself, and I considered making one for this song, but it was too overwhelming, especially after watching the video that comes with the CD. That was powerful. But you did a good job. Also, I highly, highly recommend this CD, "The Story". When you get tired of Chris Tomlin and Casting Crowns and Third Day over and over, this is really unique. A must have.

“The angel (stands a moment in silence): Without your wound where would your power be? It is your very remorse that makes your low voice tremble into the hearts of men. The very angels themselves cannot persuade the wretched and blundering children on earth as can one human being broken on the wheels of living. In love's service only the wounded soldiers can serve." (Thornton Wilder from his play 'The Angel That Troubled the Waters')

If every little girl yearned to be like Mary~ there would be no little babies born without a legal daddy, no tiny babies murdered from abortion.

As I have listened to this many times, I have wondered just exactly how Mary must have felt when the angel came to her and told her she was going to carry the Son of God!!! And then, how about Joseph, when he found out this young woman was carrying the Son of God!! Did he feel betrayed or was he as faithful to God as Mary was? I'm excited to one day find out the answers to all my questions will be answered when my time here is over!! Eerything will be answred in time!!

[@JesseMgala]

[@jahlaha]

Here was how I envisioned this lyric video: [Instrumental sequence] Timed the verses Luke 1: 30-33 where Gabriel tells Mary the news to the rises and swells in the music - the whole sequence fit rather well. Then: image of a sunset where I imagine how Mary pondered the angel's words. Transitions into an image of a quiet night and Mary prays where the song begins: a portrayal of Mary's thoughts.
