Listen to the chorus

Run, Mary, Run

The story behind the song

The story behind the song

Before the Church had a pulpit, it had a woman running.

Mary came to the tomb carrying grief. She left carrying a proclamation: death had not won, the stone had been moved, and Jesus was alive.

Run, Mary, Run imagines that breathless journey with bluegrass energy, Easter urgency, and the joy of news too good to keep still.

“I have seen the Lord.”

John 20:18

Songs for the Journey Home
