Mary Magdelene

I had an idea to write a story about a strong woman from the Bible!! I threw the idea to Ronnie, Marla and Daddy and they seemed to get it too!! We all thought on it and we wanted something that hasn't already been sung before but felt good like "Voice In The Wilderness" with Ronnie and Dan wearing it out!! Mary Magdalene was underestimated by most, but if Jesus Christ loved her then I should too! Ronnie and Daddy quickly tore into all the scriptures and stuff and Marla and I tried to follow behind like we knew it already!! The four of us came up with a special little tune!!

Mary, Mary Magdalene
Tell me what’d you do
To make them people hate you so
And Jesus so love you

Chorus:
(I said) Mary
(Mary, Mary Magdalene)
Why you cryin’
(Mary, why you cryin’)

Crowd was gathered in the street
Jesus said to them
Who’s gonna cast the first stone
He who’s without sin

Repeat Chorus Twice

She followed him right to the cross
Where he drew his last breath
And on into the garden
Where they laid him to rest

Repeat Chorus Twice

Woman what you weepin’ for
They carried him away (he’s not there)
What’s become of my sweet Lord
Tell me where he’s laid

Repeat Chorus Twice

Who’s that rolled that stone away
He who’s without sin
He says I’m the one you’re looking for
Mary Magdalene

Repeat Chorus Twice and fade
