Mary stayed by the tomb

The first to come to him
to minister to his body
Mary stayed by the tomb
with Peter and John ran away

She was there with him
standing in the garden
unable to see him as Jesus
until he called her

Mary, oh Mary
remaining ever faithful
blessed in his rising
forgiving her completely
