The duo are often credited along with Kirk Franklin for broadening the fan base of urban contemporary gospel in the 2000s by introducing elements of soul music, hip hop, funk and jazz. Mary Mary broke onto the music scene with their popular song "Shackles (Praise You)"—which is considered one of the pioneering songs of urban contemporary gospel music. The group's name, as stated in an interview is inspired by the two famous Mary's from the Bible; Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and Mary Magdelene. more »

What is this that took my life and made it beautiful?
What is this that holds me close and never lets me go?
What is this that tells me better days are yet to come?
It's your love that gives new mercy every morning
What is that that gives me peace in every circumstance?
What is this that broke the chains that made me free at last?
All this joy I have there's nowhere I can hide it
It's your loving, I must tell the world about it

[Chorus:]
Your love has captured me
In ways I can't describe/with mere words
I need so desperately
To be closer to you every minute of my life

What is this that wipes my tears when life is hard to bear?
What is this that takes my hands and leads me everywhere?
Never leaves me nor forsakes me that's your promise
It's your love and there is nothing else just like it
What is that makes me want to live each day for you?
Even though I can't repay the way you brought me through
What is this that makes me want to keep you smiling?
It's your love, your sweet love that changed my life, yeah

[Chorus]

Take my heart and make me over
Lord, because I love you
You're my soul, my life my source of everything
The very reason why I live each day in love
I live each day in love with you forever
