UNDOER OF KNOTS
C 2017, SSS


VERSE 1
Her face fresh with Oil,
Her soul strong with grace,
Lynn and her family
Are taking their place.
Her brothers and sisters,
Half and a quarter,
Wiggling around her,
In no certain order.
Her Dad and the woman
He's moved into their home;
Her own mother sits
At a table alone,
A man snug beside her
Who nobody knows.
CHORUS
Oh Mary Undoer of Knots
The family is breaking;
The children are shaken;
Please help us, Undoer of Knots
VERSE 2
The Bishop approaches her table;
They're busy adjusting their mask.
His soft hands rest on Lynn's shoulders;
They're hoping the Bishop won't ask.
He looks at the women, from one to the other;
Says "Lynn, blessed child, may I greet your Mother?"
Lynn gulps and stammers;
Her blue eyes grow wet.
Bennie, her brother, says,
"Bishop, we ain't got that figured out yet."
CHORUS
BRIDGE
How many families crowding that hall
Are hurting like hers and needing to call?
