Lyrics

She came with a jar and a bruised-up heart
Tears in the dust where the goodbyes start
Seven dark hands had dragged her down
But mercy found her in that broken town

They called her ruined, they called her stained
But He looked through the past and said her name
Not the shame they carved into her skin
He spoke like dawn through the rot within

She stood at the edge of the ruined road
Carrying grief like a stone in snow
Still she followed, still she came
Burned by pain, but she knew His name

Mary Magdalene, stand up in the storm
Mary Magdalene, the night is torn
You saw the cross, you heard the cry
Now you’re the first to see Him rise

Mary Magdalene, burn through the grave
Mary Magdalene, the stone rolled away
Death got shook, the veil got split
You saw the King and He lives

She knew the weight of a borrowed bed
The mouths of the proud, the words they fed
Then the Teacher reached into her night
And tore the chains from the inside

She walked through fire with a steady face
Said, “I was lost, but I found His grace”
At the feet of sorrow, at the edge of shame
She learned love doesn’t leave the same

Then the world went black on the hill of nails
Blood in the sky and the strong fell pale
But even when the temple cried
Her heart held fast to the crucified

Mary Magdalene, stand up in the storm
Mary Magdalene, the night is torn
You saw the cross, you heard the cry
Now you’re the first to see Him rise

Mary Magdalene, burn through the grave
Mary Magdalene, the stone rolled away
Death got shook, the veil got split
You saw the King and He lives

At the tomb, at the mouth of dawn
Cold earth split where the stone was drawn
Angels like thunder, the silence cracked
And the world could not put Him back

She turned in tears, she thought He’d gone
But Love stood near in the breaking dawn
“Mary” — the air went still
And her broken world bent to His will

Run, tell Peter
Run, tell John
The grave is empty
The curse is gone

Run, tell the doubter
Run, tell the blind
The risen Christ
Has split the night

Mary Magdalene, stand up in the storm
Mary Magdalene, the night is torn
You saw the cross, you heard the cry
Now you’re the first to see Him rise

Mary Magdalene, burn through the grave
Mary Magdalene, the stone rolled away
Death got shook, the veil got split
You saw the King and He lives

He lives
He lives
Mary saw Him first
He lives
