Mary

The heavy engine settled, the brakes began to sigh

A Greyhound bus pulled in beneath the evening sky

The lights of San Francisco were shining in the dark

You stepped onto the pavement and walked into my heart

I still see that memory like it was yesterday

The moment that you smiled and washed the world away

Oh Mary, I will love you, no matter where you are

If you're right beside me or a million miles apart

You're generous and loving, a spirit filled with grace

Walking with the Lord, bringing light to every space

I'll hold you close forever, you have my whole heart

Mary, I will love you, no matter where you are

You give without a question, you love without a bound

The kindest soul I know, the sweetest peace I've found

I see the way you worship, the faith that keeps you strong

You trust the Lord completely, it's where your heart belongs

You share your gentle spirit with everyone you see

And I thank God each morning you share that grace with me

Oh Mary, I will love you, no matter where you are

If you're right beside me or a million miles apart

You're generous and loving, a spirit filled with grace

Walking with the Lord, bringing light to every space

I'll hold you close forever, you have my whole heart

Mary, I will love you, no matter where you are

From that station in the city, to wherever we might go

There is one true thing I need your soul to know

Distance cannot change us, time won't break the tie

I am yours through every season, beneath the open sky

Oh Mary, I will love you, no matter where you are

If you're right beside me or a million miles apart

You're generous and loving, a spirit filled with grace

Walking with the Lord, bringing light to every space

I'll hold you close forever, you have my whole heart

Mary, I will love you, no matter where you are
