Misty Edwards - Mary, Mary lyrics

Mary was a little girl with navy blue eyes
Shattered too quickly with secrets and lies
Living in a small town
Where she felt claustrophobic
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 ancient soul
Who spoke with His eyes and
Stopped the stone's throw
He silenced the voices that
Played in 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 been 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
