Lyrics:

Vs. 1
She looked good in my eyes
And in everyone else¹s too
She had it all together
At least from other¹s point of view
Always the one to be with
And Mary was her name
I didn¹t know her too well
But enough to never be the same

She knew the things to say
She knew the things to do
She knew the people to know
But Lord she never knew You

What Mary didn¹t know was the answer I was holdin¹
I didn¹t think she¹d change so I never even tried
How was I to know?
I wish I would¹ve told her
Now I¹ll have to live and die with what Mary didn¹t know

Vs. 2

She was a seeker, lookin¹ to find
Some kind of somethin¹
And I remember the time
When we were talkin¹
Opportunity for me was prime
But I missed it, now I look back in my mind

Right on the tip of my tongue was, ³Jesus died for you²
The words stayed right there
I never got through

Have mercy on her soul, have mercy on me
I was weak, please forgive me

Chorus

Vs. 3

The day came for Mary to stand before the throne
And as she saw the tears in her Father¹s eyes
She cried,²I wish I would¹ve known.²

I knew things to say, I knew the things to do
I knew the people to know, but God I never knew You.

Someday I¹ll answer for. . .
Chorus
