Mary of the Dawn

(Verse 1) They called you a sinner, they cast you aside, Whispered your name like a curse in the night. But you walked with the weary, the lost, and the blind, Found in His voice a love redefined. (Chorus) Oh, Mary of the dawn, standing by the empty stone, Through the dark, you held on, The first to see He had risen, gone. (Verse 2) They paint you in shadows, they tell half a tale, But grace doesn’t falter, and love never fails. You knelt at His feet, through sorrow and strife, With tears and with oil, you honored His life. (Chorus) Oh, Mary of the dawn, standing by the empty stone, Through the dark, you held on, The first to see He had risen, gone. (Bridge) Not just a name, not just a past, The faithful remain, the first shall be last. When all others fled, you still believed, He called you by name, and set your soul free. (Final Chorus) Oh, Mary of the dawn, standing by the empty stone, Through the dark, you held on, The first to see He had risen, gone. (Outro) So tell them the story, let truth ring on, Not just a sinner, but faithful and strong. Oh, Mary of the dawn…
