| Mary Magdalene by Genie Webster Rene Best, guitars Produced by Lee Taggart Backup Vocals: Kat Wilson & Genie |
She loved him deeper than the bottom of the sea,
She loved the God behind the man.
And she loved him with passion and tenderness so sweet
That he sought solace in her hands.
And sometimes when he’d come back from a day of teaching
Weariness would border on despair
He’d cry for the hearts that he wasn’t reaching
And she dried his tears with her hair.
Oh Mary, Mary Magdalene
She loved the Nazarene
There’s something of a mystery that the fathers still shun:
The power of a woman’s touch,
And that he sought counsel from that earthy one,
A woman who just loved him very much.
And what if we had learned when we were little sons and daughters
The story of Mary Magdalene
And how she shared her sacred waters
With the one they’d call the King of Kings
Oh Mary Magdalene!
Oh Mary, Mary Magdalene!
She loved the Nazarene!
She loved as a woman only could
And he called her beautiful and good.
He called her beautiful and good.
He called all of us beautiful and good.
Oh Mary Magdalene!
She loved the Nazarene!
