- sings to his wife
- praises his wife
- is devoted to his wife
- thanks his wife
does he worship his wife as God or is he a good husband?
I fail to see how this song elevates Mary to divinity, and if Catholics thought Mary was divine, why do they hide it? Wouldn't that be blasphemous. These arguments sound like what a Pharisee would say to Jesus.
You don't have to "elevate Mary to divinity" in order to give her worship that is due to God alone. I agree that there are earthly aspects of praise, thankfullness and devotion that I would heap upon my wife, but this song does not have in mind those earthly aspects:
She is mighty to deliver.
Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Call her, trust her lovingly.
Psalm 31:1 In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.
Gifts of heaven she has given...All the gifts she gives to men.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. (Did James forget the step where the gifts go through Mary?)
1 Timothy 2:5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
There is no one else in the mediation process.
