Said Judas to Mary now what will you do |
|
With your ointment so rich and so rare? |
|
I'll pour it all over the feet of the Lord |
|
And I'll wipe it away with my hair, she said, |
|
I'll wipe it away with my hair |
|
O Mary o Mary, O think of the poor, |
|
This ointment it could have been sold |
|
And think of the blankets and think of the bread |
|
You could buy with the silver and gold he said |
|
You could buy with the silver and gold |
|
Tomorrow tomorrow I'll think of the poor |
|
Tomorrow she said not today |
|

|

|
My love who is going away |
|
Said Jesus to Mary, |
|
"Your love is so deep, |
|
Today you may do as you will. |
|
Tomorrow you say |
|
I am going away, |
|
But my body I leave with you still," He said, |
|
"My body I leave with you still." |
|
"The poor of the world |
|
Are my body," He said |
|
"To the end of the world they shall be. |
|
The bread and the blankets |
|
You give to the poor |
|
You'll know you have given to me," He said, |
|
"You'll know you have given to me." |
|
"My body will hang |
|
On the cross of the world, |
|
Tomorrow," He said, "Not today. |
|
And Martha and Mary |
|
Will find me again |
|
And wash all the sorrow away," He said, |
|
"And wash all the sorrow away. |
