Right you are Jeri.

Mary Mary

1
There on the hill, all alone and still
A woman stands just to mourn
Mary is her name, following she came
And she's been there since the dawn
She stands and looks at Him, He who knew no sin
The hope and love of her life
His face bruised and marred, His body pierced and scarred
She feels the tears she cannot hide

Chorus
Mary Mary
O don't you weep now
Mary Mary
O don't you know what the scriptures have to say?
He will rise on the third day
Then from the Cross she heard His voice
As darkness covered the land
'It is finished', she heard Him cry
And then she saw Him die
And Mary couldn't understand

2
Early in the morn, just before the dawn
Came Mary walking alone
But there before her eyes, and much to her surprise
Someone had moved away the stone
Mary starts to cry, Jesus He stands by
And gently He speaks her name
All at once she knows, Jesus had arose
And she need never weep again

Chorus
Mary Mary
No need to weep now
Mary Mary
Did you not know what the scriptures had to say?
He would rise on the third day
Chorus (as for verse 1)
Mary Mary, O don't you weep now, etc
