Mary, Mary Paroles

They dressed her in scarlet when she
went out in public
Mary, Mary don’t you know
You’re the kind of heart and soul
He’s always loved, He always will
Just keep on coming back to Him
Mary grew up and outgrew the town
Left it in hopes of love never found
Two times a mistress, she felt like a
harlot
Bittered with shame, she hated that
scarlet
But Mary, Mary, don’t you know
humanity lives your story
We’re all the same, the cowards the
whores
Forgiven much, we love all the more
We love all the more, we love all the
more
Mary met the young Man with the her head
Offered a new name and a husband
instead
Then navy blue eyes
Like a stormy night ocean
Flooded with tears as the dam broke
wide open
Like she’d be holding her breath
since the day she’d been born
She inhaled for the first time
As secrets came bleeding down a
face that was ashen
She felt His embrace and the strength
to believe Him
As the name of that young Man
crossed her cracked lips
He whispered forgiveness
And she loved all the more
She loved all the more
She loved all the more
