McCartney presented a skeletal version to the band during the 'Let It Be' sessions. Lennon was brutally dismissive, mistaking McCartney's secular humanism for self-righteous piety. He was ultimately convinced of McCartney's motives, and the band put special effort into the song. Billy Preston put the finishing touches on the recording by adding a gospel-like organ part.
The album and this song became the eulogy for the band. via georgeplant061

Verse 1When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom: let it be
And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom: let it be
ChorusLet it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom: let it be
Verse 2And when the brokenhearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer: let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer: let it be
ChorusLet it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah there will be an answer: let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom: let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom: let it be
Verse 3And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow: let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
ChorusYeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer: let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer: let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom: let it be
