When Mary Left Her Mother
uploaded: Thu, Dec 8, 2022 @ 6:57 AM
Soon those amongst us of the christian faith will celebrate the birth of a child who grew up anonymously in a distant land but who would bring together millions of people all over the world. Sadly for most the message of Christmas will be lost in the over indulgence of food and drink. As a race we are slowly losing our souls and led by politicians of dubious character stumble forward to a dimming light. Hopefully something will pull us back before we reach the edge and bestow on us the real gift of humanity that we once had and not something we can only find inside a box being delivered on an Amazon van!
Many thanks to Stefan for the inspiring backing track which I have just added fiddle and soprano sax to. Now Mary’s mother warned her that the man that she had choosen Was a dreamer and a loser who only plied a simple trade And if she wanted to be happy she should find another lover But Mary did not listen and her pledge to Joseph made Love is a mask that people wear when seeking out a partner And Mary’s mask was golden and made for just one man She was just a girl who knew her place and where she should be heading But little did she know the real direction God had planned Now Joseph he made ladders, doors and tables for the people Any task he could perform the gift was in his hands So when the angel of the lord arrived he offered up his services But the angel he said not today there is a greater plan So Joseph listened closely to the words so softly spoken Carried out the clear instructions and prepared to make his way With Mary and the donkey and the great story to be written Not knowing it would finish in Golgotha one dark day But for now there’d be rejoicing gifts and praises from all quarters The stars would guide the kings arrive and shepherds have their place And young Mary sensed the drama but her thoughts were left unspoken And her mothers words would haunt her when they had to flee next day Now Mary saw the glory but she also felt the pity And Joseph he kept making things that people always need It was the greatest gift that God bestowed but the heaviest to carry And Mary heard her mothers words pass by upon the breeze.
