Full Lyrics
Mary said yes to God.
Mary was a good child, raised to do her duty.
And this was God!
But God didn't say, "Mary! Mary you have to! Mary you must!"
What God said was, "Mary, will you trust?"
Mary said yes to God.
He didn't coerce, He didn't demand, He let her make her choice.
And Mary said yes to God.
Jesus said yes to God.
He didn't want to: he knew that all that was to come was death.
Suffering and death.
He begged God, "Lord! Let this cup pass from me!"
God said:
[silence]
Nevertheless Jesus stayed for the betraying kiss.
Even though he knew, he chose to stay; he had a job to do.
And he was very sure.
Jesus said yes to God.
He said yes, and as he died, tortured, abandoned and denied, he said:
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
And God was made man.
