Mary of Bethany
Lyrics
Her sisters’ name was Martha
Her Brothers name was Lazarus
She'd sit at Jesus feet and marvel at his teaching
Then one day her brother died
Families gathered in mourning
When Jesus called for her to come
She dropped everything and went running
Jesus wept as they approached the tomb
She watched as our Lord prays, Lazarus was raised
She was Mary of Bethany; we honor her memory
Wherever the gospel's proclaimed around the world
The beauty of her legacy
She made it her priority
To listen to the teachings of our Lord
Mary of Bethany
Martha was cooking supper
At the home of Simon the leper
With Lazarus and Jesus, the disciples gathered round’
There’s an alabaster box filled with priceless ointment
Mary pours it all on Jesus & wipes his feet with her hair
Judas raised his voice in discontent
Jesus said to leave her be
It's a beautiful thing she's done to me
She was Mary of Bethany; we honor her memory
Wherever the gospel's proclaimed around the world
The beauty of her legacy
She made it her priority
To listen to the teachings of our Lord
She was Mary of Bethany; we honor her memory
Wherever the gospel's proclaimed around the world
The beauty of her legacy
She made it her priority
To listen to the teachings of our Lord
Mary of Bethany- Mary of Bethany- Mary of Bethany- Mary of Bethany
