Mary's Song
Being a former Catholic, I have always been interested by the Catholic fascination and perhaps even reverence of Mary, the mother of Jesus. As a "born-again," my views on Mary have changed considerably from what I understand to be the Catholic position regarding Mary. And although rejecting any idea today that she is divine, I still see her as an important figure in the history of Christianity.
I really desired to write a song which reflected my own perspective on her, which basically consisted of the idea that she knew prophetically that she was going to bear God's Son, but still was confused to a certain degree on how this would play out in her life.
My personal conviction is that she knew that Jesus was God in human form, but she still had to adjust to the inevitable facts of His crucifixion and death on the cross at Calvary, because it was clearly prophesied in scripture.
This was her kid.
And even though she knew what was coming, she must have agonized over the inevitable outcome.
I still feel today that limited by the form of my art- the pop song- I really wasn't able to come close to conveying the fullness of what I imagine she must have gone through as the mother of Jesus. Would to be a writer of books at this particular time.
