Magdalene Lyrics

I've been a girl lost in a junkyard

crockery with fine cracks

Desperate cheeks upon a cold cold heart

But I'm lucky cos I know there was a girl like me

Who from her brokenness wrote lines in history

Oh Magdalene

Pours her everything

As an offering into his dirty skin

And Jesus says

You you're my girl you're my girl

You you're my girl you're my girl

He will reach in through all my mirrors

There I am polished just like glass

Cos I have shivered in the brutal aftermath

In isolation I have cowered

In the cobwebbed dust

He will clothe me enthrone me

Bestow me perfume me

With the lightening on his tongue

He'll say Your best is still to come

Like Magdalene

You won't find me in the magazines

But from my brokenness

I found a way to be set free

Jesus said to me

You you're my girl you're my girl

You you're my girl you're my girl

This is redemption of a worn out heart

The hinges of a broken past

And in the goosebumps

Of my shipwrecked dark he says

You you're my girl you're my girl

You you're my girl you're my girl

You claim that I'm a brand new human

Sometimes my eyes still see the older shape of me

Fragile laddered pantyhose

Unravelled like pink candy-floss

But beneath it all

I sense you fall

The coming of new Pentecost and

Jesus said

You you're my girl you're my girl

You you're my girl you're my girl
