A meditation on Mary Magdalene’s emotional landscape on the day she goes to anoint Christ's body, from the moment she wakes in the morning to her epiphany at the empty tomb. ------------------------------------- Early I wake in the dark Shell-shocked dreaming awake I see you on a cross My feet touch stone-cold earth As I fall out of sleep And wander towards your tomb –– Early sunlight cannot pierce this darkness It only shines on your tomb It only shines on where the stone is gone My feet touch stone-cold earth As I run from this place To tell the others you loved That now no one knows where you are It wasn’t bad enough we had to watch you die But now even your body is gone –– Weeping I stare into your tomb And find two angels there Who ask me why I weep And I wonder if they want to hear the story of my life The deadness that I’d carried before I met this Christ My aloneness in hiding from the hurts that I’d received My fearfulness in not knowing now in whom I could believe But even as my mind is racing now I sense behind I turn around to find a man is standing by my side He asks me why I weep and who I’m looking for inside I ask him if he’s taken the body of my Christ… He answers me by speaking my name And I know who he is And he asks me to go He asks me to tell you That he is alive And I stand on this earth And I run from this place… My feet touch stone-cold earth as I run from this place

Never Before 03:19
Lyrics: The angel said the Lord is with me: The Lord is with me in a way he’s never been before; His Spirit is my lover, his son shall fill my womb With holiness and joy And with life that I can feel kicking at my insides. The Lord will stay with me in a way he’s never stayed before; He will suckle at my breast and let me hold him in my arms. He will run to me when he cuts his finger Or wonders aloud at his Father’s creation in a brightly colored butterfly. Oh, who is this child Lord who comes from up above, Whose eyes will look beyond my own to a destiny I do not know? Oh, who is this God boy whose hands shall clasp mine And whose tears I shall wipe away with trembling fingers of my own? The Lord will leave me in a way he’s never left before; As a king whose time has come, as a son his mother loved, As a boy whose laughter has filled my heart And as a baby whose tears I have cried as if they were my own. The angel said the Lord is with me. Music and lyrics © 1998 Deanna Witkowski/Tilapia Tunes/BMI. All Rights Reserved.
