Saint Mary Magdalene - At the Feet of Jesus

There are 7 songs in the drama performance.  The song "I Will Not Walk Away" is inspired by the Bread of Life Discourse (John 6:22-59.) In this scene, Mary Magdalene hears the disciples "murmuring their disbelief" and she tells Jesus, "I believe you - and I will not walk away!"

"I Will Not Walk Away"

You say that Your flesh 

Is bread for the world 

Who am I not to believe? 

You are God 

and You have spoken 

My faith in Your Presence 

Is not broken.

REFRAIN

My feet are close upon Your steps

I will follow You to the depths 

If I am the last one I will stay.

I am with You to the end 

  My King, My Friend,

I will not walk away. 

VERSE 2 

I want them to love You 

To fall on their knees 

To taste how sweet Your mysteries. 

The ones who You healed 

turn their backs and despise 

And see Your Presence 

Only with their eyes. 

REFRAIN

My feet are close upon Your steps

I will follow You to the depths 

 If I am the last one I will stay.

I am with You to the end,

My King, My Friend,

 I will not walk away,

I will not walk away!
