Jennifer Harper’s “Mary Magdalene” is a powerful and spiritually-inspired acoustic adult contemporary song that resonates with a profound message of empowerment and unity.
Drawing inspiration from water, Jennifer Harper received a calling while at the pool, ready to do her laps. Her mind drifts to the song prompt of the week in her songwriting circle. Originally set on creating a piece about Joan of Arc, she unexpectedly receives a different message, hearing the words “I want you to know who I am. I want you to know who I am. I’m Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene. It’s time that you know my name.”
Taken aback by this spiritual experience, Jennifer shares the message with her songwriting circle, where it is warmly received. Despite feeling unsure if it can stand alone as a musical piece, she decides to sing it to a spiritual mentor who encourages her to share the profound message she has been given.
The essence of “Mary Magdalene” lies in the realization of hidden power within women, a message delivered by the figure of Mary Magdalene. Jennifer Harper connects with this powerful message, emphasizing the importance of women recognizing their strength and embracing their potential. The song becomes a message of empowerment, urging women to reclaim their power and to speak out fearlessly.
“I am more of a messenger,” Jennifer states, highlighting her role as a conduit for this potent message. She sees herself as a representative for women who are just dipping their toes into the waters of their potential, not yet ready to take the plunge into the full realization of their strength.
The acoustic arrangement of the song complements the intimate and contemplative nature of the lyrics. Jennifer’s soulful voice conveys the depth and emotion of the message, carrying the listener on a spiritual journey.
“Mary Magdalene” serves as a call to action for women to embrace their power and stand united in love. It is a reminder of the strength and resilience that lies within each individual, urging them to break free from the confines of societal norms and expectations.
