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 »

[Chorus:]
I'm just ordinary people 
Who found extraordinary love
Sometimes it's hard to believe
That God keeps loving me so much

There are so many people I look up to
Used to tell them I want to be just 
Like you
Then God took ordinary me
And gave me a chance
And everyday I gotta thank him for
Where I am

[Chorus]

I looked in the mirror, I saw average
You looked down from heaven, you saw
A gift
Still can't figure out why you
Loved me so but that's what makes 
You God
I'll never know cause

[Chorus]

Listen to me, I can tell you how it goes
God can take a nobody
Who no one knows
Make `em more than you ever could be
Ask me how I know, he did it for me

[Chorus]
