i've been learning a lot lately about the character of Jesus. and the more i learn, the more beautiful i find both Him and this song. it's actually brought me to tears multiple times. i think it's just such a sweet picture of Jesus' relationships. i hope you are blessed by it.
Jesus and Mary, walking hand in hand
down the shores of the Galilee, fishermen
telling the story about a future in the present-day kingdom come
Mary said, “Jesus, will i be okay?
I’ve got a feeling when you leave that things are gonna change
and everybody that I know don’t seem to treat me near as good as You”
He skipped a stone into the sea
began to laugh and shake his head
turn around in time to see that
the eyes of His beloved were just filling up with child’s tears
He said, “Baby, don’t you worry
about a thing that comes to pass
you’ve got a seed of Heaven planted deep within your soul
and if you need something, all you have to do is ask
and I’ll know, I’ll know”
later that week up in Jerusalem,
they caught a dinner and a show after the setting sun
then climbed the hillside just in time to see the moon rise full and red
Jesus said, “Mary, will I be okay?
I got a feeling something’s happening, just today
I overheard a group of fellas talkin' how they’re gonna do Me in”
she picked a fig off of the tree
down the shores of the Galilee, fishermen
telling the story about a future in the present-day kingdom come

their lives together flashed before her eyes,

You are the seed of Heaven planted deep inside this world
and if You need something, all You have to do is ask
And I’ll go, I’ll go”
later that week, after the burial
all of the brothers and the sisters went back to their homes
but little Mary, with the vigils, crying at the grave of her best friend
“why do you weep, as if I’m dead?”
the voice behind her cut right through the air
she turned around and saw the friend
running back into His arms
