"What Mary Didn't Know" Lyrics

Now I'll have to live and die
With what Mary didn't know

She looked good in my eyes
And in everyone else's too
She had it all together
At least from others' point of view

Always the one to be with
And Mary was her name
I didn't 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 didn't know You

What Mary didn't know
Was the answer I was holdin'
I didn't think she'd
Change so I never even tried
How was I to know?
I wish I would've told her
Now I'll have to live and die
With what Mary didn't know

(What Mary didn't know)

She was a seeker
Lookin' to find
Some kind of somethin'
And I remember the time
When we were talkin'
Opportunity for me was prime
But I missed it
Now I look back in my mind

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

What Mary didn't know
Was the answer I was holdin'
I didn't think she'd
Change so I never even tried
How was I to know?
I wish I would've told her
Now I'll have to live and die
With what Mary didn't know

Have mercy on her soul
Have mercy on me
I should've let her know
I was weak
Please forgive me

For what Mary didn't know
She didn't know
Mary
Mary didn't know
She didn't
Mary

The day came for Mary
To stand before the throne
And as she saw the tears in her Father's eyes
She cried,
"I wish I would've known"

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

Someday I'll answer for. . .

What Mary didn't know
Was the answer I was holdin'
She never knew to change
So she never even tried
How was she to know?
I wish I would've told her
Now I'll have to live and die

What Mary didn't know
Was the answer found in Jesus
She never knew to change
So she never even tried
How was she to know?
I wish I would've told her
Now I'll have to live and die
Now I'll have to live and die
With what Mary didn't know
