Oh Mary she couldn't see
she was blinded by tears for the lost
she came from opening Jesus' grave
there was nothing but some lines in dust

Hey gardener she cried as she ran
has someone passed you coming this way
did you see my Saviour and friend
He might be alive today

I still remember the first time we met
't was in the house of the judge of Magdala
He was there as an honoured guest
and I was there on the job

Frisky, playful like a little bird
I lay waiting in the master's bed
I overheard there game of words
and I was astonished by what
the Stranger said

Throuhg the banisters I took a peep
there sat a Man with a golden glow
talking about a flock of sheep and 
a mostardseed
and the riverbed in which to flow

watching and listening and
absorbing it all
I was struck by a purifying light
I ran down the stairs and I knelt
at the chair
of the Healer Who gave me sight

With my long black locks I dried His feet
for with my tears He cast the demons out
seven was there number,
eternal their defeat
and my soul free from doubt

I kissed and perfumed His toes and heels
much in disapproval of the pharisee
all my good money spent on
a so-called-heaven-sent
for now a prophet You can't be

Simon oh Simon Jesus replied
here's something that I got to say
who owes God the most, who loves
Him the most
and this woman proved her love today

After that I went in peace
my sins forgiven and my faith revealed
knowing that His follower I was to be
that day my future was sealed

I was there when he feeded
fourthousand
three days they gathered and had
nothing left to eat
seven loaves of bread and seven
fishes was all He had
seven basketfull 're picked up
after the meal

And I heard the sermon on the mount
saw the healing of lepers and lame
I followed Him from Magdala in Galilee
to Golgotha in Jerusalem

That's the story Mary told the gardener
Who than showed His hands and
looked her in the eyes
Mary He said, Master! she exclaimed
Jesus had been recognized
