​Song of The Magdalene​
Lyrics: Raquel Z. Rivera. Music: traditional.​
Mary Magdalene Said to Jesus Let me die For you on that cross For you on that cross I want to die Because I can’t stand Seeing you suffer like this Seeing you suffer like this Is much worse Than on my own body Feeling the pain Feeling the pain I would do so gratefully As long as you don’t die In that agony In that agony I refuse to see you That’s why I’m proposing Changing places with you Changing places with you Will give me peace Since my flesh can stand That cross and much more That cross and much more I can endure But I can’t stand Watching you die like this Watching you die like this Makes no sense Lamb of God I have also been I have also been Selected by God But humanity is deaf It refuses to hear my voice It refuses to hear my voice It doesn’t want to see me As the divine daughter Of the Most High Of the Most High Anointed Shaking from grief As I face your suffering As I face your suffering Son of the Light I beg you Let me die For you on that cross
