Story Behind The Song
This song just poured out of me one day as I was playing the piano. It reflects my belief that men and women are equal in the eyes of God and that what is truly of value is to support the people you love in the face of all danger.
Song Description
This is a song about the three Marys in Jesus's life; how they stood by him in the face of Rome, when his disciples fled. It poses the question: What if Jesus comes back as a woman?

Lyrics
Trinity
Marghi Allen
(c) 1993
Mary was with Jesus
When he left this life
Born to mother
She was raised to be Joseph?s wife
But God came to Mary
And planted a tiny, little seed
And she gave that baby
Everything he did need
And God said to Mary,
?I?m going to lift you up to the light.?
Cause Mary was with Jesus
When he left this life.
Another Mary was with Jesus
Underneath the cross
Sister to Mary and to Lazarus
Gave Jesus comfort
When he was in her home
Stood beside him
Under the threat of Rome
And so God said to Mary,
?I?m going to make everything alright!?
Because Mary was with Jesus
When he left this life
The next time you see God
I swear you just don?t know
God my come down as a woman
As a woman, God may go
And if you meet her
But still you just can?t treat her right
It might go really hard for you
In that judgment light
Because the women stood by Jesus
They did not run away and hide
What if Jesus is a woman in the second life?
Yes, Mary was with Jesus
When he left this life
Born Mary Magdalene
She was raised up in poverty and strife
Sold her body and lost her good name
Lived her life in exile with that shame
But then God said to Mary,
?I?m going to lift you up to the light.?
Because Mary was with Jesus
When he left this life.
