My name is Mary Magdalen I come from Palestine Please excuse these rags Iâm in But Iâve fallen on hard times But long ago I had my work When I was in my prime But I gave it up, and all for love It was his career or mine Jesus loved me This I know But why on earth Did I ever let him go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off With this heart of mine A love like this will come but once This I do believe And Iâll not see his like again As I live and breath And Iâm sorry if I might offend But I will never see How the tenderness I shared with him Became a heresy Jesus loved me This I know But why on earth Did I ever let him go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off With this heart of mine But I remember nights we spent Whispering our creed Our rituals, our sacraments The stars our canopy There beneath an olive tree Weâd offer up our plea Godâs creation innocent His arms surrounding me Jesus loves me This I know But why on earth Did he ever have to go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off With this heart of mine |
