In reply to Chambula Cosmas Chisunka. Reading this again 13 years later and my tears still flow with Mary's when her only true lord is going away from her world.

Today we sung the melody of this song on other words. I knew the song ‘Judas and Mary’ starting with b e e e b b b a g fis e etc. The song of this morning had the same melody I knew, except the beginning: b e b b b b b a g fis e. The song of this morning was sung in a churchservice and the people had difficulties with this bbbbb in the first sentence. Can someone tell me what the original melody is that Sydney Bertram Carter composed?

this is how we sang it 33 years ago in youth group:

said judas to mary, now what will you do with your ointment so rich and so rare? I’ll pour it all over the feet of the Lord and i’ll wipe it away with my hair, she said, i’ll wipe it away with my hair.

said judas to mary, “oh mary, oh mary, think of the poor, this ointment it could have been sold and think of the blankets and think of the bread you could buy with the silver and gold, he said. “you could buy with the silver and gold.”

said mary to judas, “tomorrow, tomorrow, i’ll think of the poor. tomorrow, she said, not today. for dearer than all of the poor in the world is my Lord who is going away, she said, my Lord who is going away.

said jesus to mary, “your love is so great, today you may do as you will. Tomorrow you say, “I am going away” but my body i leave with you still, he said, my body i leave with you still.

the poor of the world are my body, he said, to the end of the world they shall be. the bread and the blankets you give to the poor you will find you have given to me, he said, you will find you have given to me.

yeah, funny, how the words came back when i saw your something, something… ;>)
