The Ballad of Mary Magdalene Lyrics

I once read a description of this song that described it as walking the fine line between spirituality and blasphemy.

I think that, whatever your take on the relationship (or non relationship) between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, this song tells a beautiful story of love and suggests that were there a romantic relationship, it would not have been a dirty or shameful thing.

Dar sings it beautifully.
