my name is mary magdalen
i come from palestine
please excuse these rags i'm in
i've fallen on hard times
but long ago i had my work
when i was in my prime
but i gave it up all for love
it was his career or mine

jesus loved me this i know
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 comes but once
this i do believe
and i'll not see his life again
as i live and breathe
and i'm sorry if i might offend
but i'll never see
how the tenderness i shared with him
became a herecy

jesus loved me this i know
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

and i remember nights we spent
whispering our creed
our rituals, our sacrament
the stars, our canopy
and there beneath an olive tree
we'd offer up our plate
god's creation, innocent
his arms surrounding me

jesus loves me this i know
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
he was always faithful, he was always kind
but he walked off with this heart of mine
