When Mary Listened to God's Word

This hymn about Mary was written by English folk-musician, teacher and youth-ministry specialist Damian Lundy.

It was included in More Songs of the Spirit - Songs and Hymns of Renewal, Volume 2, which was published by Kevin Mayhew Ltd in the United Kingdom in 1981.

In 2015 it was released on the CD Favourite Catholic Folk Hymns, and this is still available from Kevin Mayhew Publications, although it does not appear to have been released on other platforms.

The song is set to an unnamed tune, also by Lundy. This has a 4/4 time signature. In the key of Dm, the first few notes are A G A D D D C D_ with accompanying chords Dm / Gm / Dm.
