Lyrics Mary, Mary - Misty Edwards

Mary, Mary

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
