Lifted Up — Scripture Video for Social Media

Description

Mary’s song turns the world upside down, and this video lets your congregation watch it happen. In Lifted Up, the words of Luke 1:52–53 move the way they read. “Powerful” falls from the top of the frame and lands dimmed and diminished. “Lowly” rises from the ground and turns gold. “Hungry” fills with gold from the bottom up. “Rich” drains to an outline and drifts off the screen, leaving “empty” alone in the sky.

Behind the type, a desert night gives way to first light: the hope Advent waits for, dawning slowly. The Magnificat is appointed for the Fourth Sunday of Advent in Year B (December 20, 2026) and offered as the psalm response on the Third Sunday (December 13, 2026). It speaks to every week of the season.

No PCM logo, watermark or web address appears anywhere in the frame. The videos are silent and every word reads with the sound off, so you can add music from inside Instagram or Facebook if you like. Scripture is from the NRSVue, with the citation on screen.
