LYRICS
Hell came calling this morning
After heroes had gone for the day
My heart skipped a beat when fear took a seat
And I knew that they meant to stay
I dreaded any more callers
My heart had turned cold and numb
I was no stranger to this danger
Surely more would come
Chorus:
There was no time to fall
No time to run away
No time to walk tall, no time at all
There was only time to pray
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
Somehow I knew what to do
Though all the hosts of hell, come to my house to dwell
They’ll leave when they find me with You
2nd Chorus:
They’ll leave when they find me with You, oh Lord
They’ll leave when they find me with You
I’m asking you, please, from my heart, from my knees
Let them find me with you
Hell came calling this morning
After heroes had gone for the day
There was no time to cry, no time to ask why
There was only time to pray
Chorus:
There was no time to fall
No time to run away
No time to walk tall, no time at all
There was only time to pray

This lady is one that brightens my life whenever I see or hear her.❤
Just found Mean Mary and wholeheartedly agree with every wonderful thing that has been said. But THIS song of love, trust, faith and the power of prayer filled my heart with so much joy it was literally painful!
I'm not a music buff, and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but this ladles singing and playing talents stir my soul. If I could give higher acalades I would.
She's mesmerizing and I saw where someone posted that she a national treasure and I agree.
Can't quit wanting to just hear more. Thank you Mean Mary from Alabamm, you've graced my heart and soul with your music.
Time to pray and bless the Lord today.
I am living and hoping for the kind of life that Mary would write the soundtrack for. Every song is a beautiful story.
Sing it Mary !!!
Wonderful voice. Thank you.
WOW Mary!!! That smile would have melted the iceberg before the Titanic hit it!!! Love all your songs especially the ones with a banjo and that heart throb smile!! Have a safe 4th.
She is a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
We would all be better off if we all lost our cell phones.
Love your music.
Thanx
Then I wouldn't have this great music.
Hi Mary....you're like the friend we can't wait to see again. 💕
Loving mean Mary (who’s really an angel).
Once in a while when you cruise around RUclips late at night, you find a gem.
Mean Mary is one of those!
It’s nice to see real raw music these days. And it doesn’t get any better than this.
It always a great day when I get to hear a new tune from you Mary!
Thank you so much!
Losing her smartphone is saving her home!
This is life!!
Ah Mary, another top notch reminder. Indeed, if there is no time to pray, there is no life. God bless, ever.
I have the album, but videos bring life to the songs when I go back to the album.
I've watched this about 10 times so far.......every time it gets to part where you sing "when they find me with you , Oh Lord......" I get choked up....every.....time..... great song. Thank you!
I'm crying with you . They will leave when they find me with you ohh Lord !
✨️We love you Mss.Mary✨️
Mary James Living her Dream! Love You Mary. God Bless You and Yours.
The Spirit of Appalachia..
Lives in you..!! 💖
With all that goes on in these days. Your performances are a relaxing breath of fresh air. Please keep the music flowing. I will always listen.
Seeing her for years. Do not understand how this women not a house hold name. She gives the banjo a great sound and role in country/folk music.
Ought to have a hall of fame just for her in my opinion. She's mesmerizing to me.
Obviously an elemental Spirit sent to us from the heavenly realm!!!
Beautiful song and very very important message. God Bless you Mary
Awesome song Love it. Thank You for sharing
Everything happens for a reason even if we don't understand it. God works in mysterious ways. Great video.

Mary, if more people would pay attention to and live by the messages in your songs, it would be a better, happier world. God bless you ❤
Thank you Ma'am...iprayed for a blessing, and God answered my prayer with your beautiful song...Amen ..God Bless You...
At least when she reached for the phone, there was not a snake under there.😮 You got to watch out in places like that. I found a 14 inch copperhead in my aunts water bucket yesterday, trying to water her flowers. He is no longer with us.😊
GOOD SONG!!! BEEN THERE!! You describe it WELL!!! Our GREAT and WONDERFUL GOD doesn't FORSAKE us!!! THANKS for sharing your UNIQUE God given GIFT!
And you knock another one clear out of the park!! He is our only hope at any time, as you remind us so well!!
Amen! ☺❤❤❤
This wonderful song is a reminder that faith does not guarantee that one will not face troubles, but that one will have help from God in dealing with them.
Exactly.
