Mary's Pain

She watched him die. She saw him humiliated, spat on, degraded, and beaten. She felt his suffering in every step he took to his death. She watched him being tortured. She had to stand there and watch him be brutally murdered. She was helpless to prevent it—helpless to stop it.

Mary’s Pain

I’m at a loss
I need you to tell me what I should do
What can I do to help you
All I know is that I NEED to DO something!!!

Tell me the right words to say and I’ll say them
Tell me the right actions to do and I’ll do them
Show me the right feelings to share and I’ll share them
Give me the guidance and wisdom to help
Give me the secret to bring you out of this

But you tell me there is nothing TO do
There is nothing I can say
There is nothing I can do
I am helpless to help
I’m powerless to change things
All of this is out of my control

Even so, I don’t want you to go through this alone
I see the suffering, the heartache, the torture
It’s written on your face
Pouring from your eyes
Etched in your soul
Your pain is too much for me to bear

I want all this to stop
Not only for you but for me
I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive this
I can’t stand here and watch you die

I’m at a loss
I stand here wanting to take the pain away
Wanting to heal your hurt
I feel so betrayed by my own inability to stop this!
I just can’t accept that there’s nothing I can do
I won’t accept that; I can’t accept that!
There must be something I can do!!!
There MUST BE!!!

My God! My God!
Give me the right words to say and I’ll say them
Give me the right actions to do and I’ll do them
Give me the right feelings to share and I’ll share them
Give me the guidance and wisdom to help
Give me the secret to save Your Son!!
