[Verse 1]
She came in through the dust
Bare feet, cracked and brave
Eyes like darkened wine
Carried every name they gave
In the market shadow
They would point and stare
But she wore her nights
Like armor in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the ground went still
When mercy touched her face
All the shame fell off
And left a holy place
[Chorus]
Maria Magdalena
Maria Magdalena
You rose from the fire
Now you shine like gold
Maria Magdalena
Maria Magdalena
From broken to blessed
From the dark to the old
[Verse 2]
Now the candles flicker
By the painted saints
People kneel and pray
Where the rumor once had stains
What was called a fall
Turned into a song
She was never lost
She was coming all along
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the ground went still
When mercy touched her face
All the shame fell off
And left a holy place
[Chorus]
Maria Magdalena
Maria Magdalena
You rose from the fire
Now you shine like gold
Maria Magdalena
Maria Magdalena
From broken to blessed
From the dark to the old
[Bridge]
Ooh, hear the bells
Over stone and flame
Ooh, say her name
And it sounds the same
Not the wound they made
Not the word they threw
She became a light
And it found its way through
[Final Chorus]
Maria Magdalena
Maria Magdalena
You rose from the fire
Now you shine like gold
Maria Magdalena
Maria Magdalena
From broken to blessed
From the dark to the old
Maria Magdalena
Maria Magdalena
High as heaven calls
And the whole world knows
