( healing from abuse)

Ref:
Mary, Mary everywhere
Your tired face I see
Mary in the very air
And Mary in me
Lured by the power
Hoping love will last
And the cycle continues
An ever-present past

Red-rimmed eyes are shining
Looking heaven’s way
Victims of designing
What can I say?
He abuses power
Who has it to abuse
The tender gender cower
So often seem to lose

Then a man comes walking
You think, in a mask
Then he starts to talking
And you start to ask
Can these words be honest?
Can He really be
Answering my longing
Not for Him, but me?

Every time I see her
In a sister’s face
I desire to free her
From this sore disgrace
And I have seen creation
World without end
Work its transformation
In many a friend
I have seen the River
Wash away the lies
I have seen the Lamb lay down
And I have seen Him rise

Mary, Mary everywhere
Your shining face I see
Mary in the very air
And Mary in me
Finding new power
Knowing love will last
And the cycle is broken
Perish with the past
