Mary, Why Do You Cry? is the English version of the original song “Maria, Por Que Choras?”, written and produced by Flavio Guimarães.
Inspired by the sorrow of Mary at the foot of the cross, the song tells a story of pain, faith, hope and the victory of life through Christ.
From the tears of the cross to the hope of resurrection, the message is simple: life in Christ never dies.
Reading the Bible, I came across so much pain A mother at the foot of the cross Watching her Son, in such great love
Mary, why do you cry? The Son gives Himself for us The pain remains within your heart But victory will come, this is peace
Tears fall, the heart breaks Mary, the mother feels the pain in her soul In her eyes, the sorrow of losing But in her soul Faith to be born again
Mary, why do you cry? The Son gives Himself for us The pain remains within your heart But victory will come, this is peace
At the foot of the cross, there is loneliness But the mother finds strength in prayer In her heart, the flame still shines and never fades Knowing that death will not be the end
Mary, why do you cry? The Son gives Himself for us The pain remains within your heart But victory will come, this is peace
The sun goes down, but the promise rises Beyond the pain, love is never lost When the cross becomes glory Life wins, and hope comes back to memory
Mary, why do you cry? The Son lives, and hope fills your heart The pain fades away, and victory rises again
Mary, why do you cry? The Son lives, and hope fills your heart The pain fades away, and victory rises again For life in Christ never dies Never dies, never dies, never dies
