[Chorus]
'Cause you must know you are my true love, Mary
Yes you are, Mary Magdalene's on my mind
[Verse]
While the world laughed, you stood by me
Others ran, you chose not to flee
You got hell on earth for loving me
Nothing scared you away, by my side you stayed
To my father above you prayed and prayed
To switch places with me when I was slayed
'Cause girl, I could feel it and my wounds you would heal 'em
But it's out your hands, these sins of man
Some tried to judge you by picking up stones
Shattered furniture and gla**-made homes
Jealous people throw 'em the ricochet
Bobbing and weaving as they come their way
As my world burns, the flames you bear
You were still there when all the smoke cleared
And girl, I could see it in your eyes, I did
As your tears fall, I would catch them all
No hatred in your heart, forgive them please
I feel no pain, my soul's at ease
No questions, God made his choice
But always in your mind will be my voice
[Chorus]
'Cause you must know you are my true love, Mary
Yes you are, Mary Magdalene's on my mind
