Mary's Momentous Moment

orchidee



Tune: St Peter

('My God, accept my heart this day')

John 20 v.11-16

For St Mary Magdalen's Day - July 22.

*********

Mary Magdalen outside tomb

It was an empty room

While weeping, looked therein, did see

Two angels there they be

 

They said to her, 'Woman, why do

You weep as you us view?'

She said, 'They have taken away

My Lord, He gone this day'

 

'And I know not where they have laid

Him, nor where His tomb made'

Then when she turned arounds she saw

Jesus alive e'ermore

 

But she did not know it was He

And He did say, so be

'Woman, why weep you? Whom seek you?'

She was distressed, 'tis true

 

She thought that He the gardener be

And said, 'Now here, do see

If you have carried Him away

Tell me where you Him lay'

 

Jesus said to her, 'Mary', she

Turned round surprisingly

Said, 'Master', then she knew He be

Jesus, from death now free

    Mary Magdalen has always been my favorite, misunderstood for so long, she never wavered. Such a beautiful poem for her dear Orchi!

      Thanks Bella.

      A very nice write Orchi. Mary and Jesus had a special relationship as can be told by how predominantly she shows in what is otherwise a very male oriented new testament.
