A Woman Trapped in Darkness

Words: Robert Loretz
Music: Robert Loretz
This hymn follows the journey of Mary Magdelen from the healing encounter with Christ to her priveleged witnessing of his resurrection, emphasising the love she poured out for Him in gratitude to his healing touch. The text follows the viewpoint of Simon the Pharisee, though with a retrospective insight and remorse. It is a prayer for a deeper love for Christ who heals. The music is reverent, prayerful and meditative.
