What Mary Didn't Know (Infectious Version)
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
(Always...the one)
And Mary was her name
I didn't know her too well
(Oh, I...knew)
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 didn't know
Was the answer I was holding
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 holding
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
(What Mary didn't know)
Was the answer I was holding
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
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 God, I didn't know You
Someday I'll answer for. . .
What Mary didn't know
Was the answer I was holding
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
(Ooo...Oh Mary)
I didn't think she'd change
(I never even tried!)
How was I to know?
(How was I to know?)
Now I'll have to live and die...
(Now I'll have to live and die)
What Mary didn't know
Was the answer I was holding
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
