The words
Who did Jesus call by name? (Mary! Mary!)
By the lake in a fishing town, something evil held Mary down.Jesus came and He set her free, she walked with Him through Galilee.
Who did Jesus call by name? (Mary! Mary!)Jesus spoke, and she knew Him well!Jesus is risen! Go and tell! (Go and tell!)Jesus called her by name! (Mary! Mary!)
Mary stayed through the saddest day, Sunday came, the stone rolled away.Someone stood there, she did not know. Was it the gardener? No, no, no!
Who did Jesus call by name? (Mary! Mary!)Jesus spoke, and she knew Him well!Jesus is risen! Go and tell! (Go and tell!)Jesus called her by name! (Mary! Mary!)
Jesus is alive today, and He knows your name, too.Be still and listen when you pray, Jesus is calling you.
Who did Jesus call by name? (Mary! Mary!)Jesus spoke, and she knew Him well!Jesus is risen! Go and tell! (Go and tell!)Jesus called her by name! (Mary! Mary!)
Jesus called her by name! (Mary! Mary!)And Jesus knows your name, too! (He knows my name!)So like Saint Mary Magdalene, go and tell! Jesus is risen! (Jesus is risen!)Jesus called her by name! (Mary! Mary!)
The words in gold are the children’s part: the grown-up sings the line, the little ones shout the echo back.
