Martha, Martha

 Mary and Martha were friends of the Lord.

They had him over to hear the word.

Martha was busy tending to guests,
In frustration, she made one request
“Lord, don’t you see what I’m trying to do here
My sister just sits there like she doesn’t care.
Won’t you please tell her to get up and help
Now, it could have been to Martha’s dismay,
I’m tired of carrying this load by myself.”
But here’s what the Lord had to say,
You are troubled by too many things
“Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha
I believe and I perceive, 
Mary has chosen the greater part
Are you so busy you don’t know what to do?
And that is to care for the things of her heart.”


Mary or Martha, now, which one are you?
Have you taken the time to just sit at his feet
You think you’re doing what he wants you to do
Or are you running ragged feeling so incomplete?
Now it is hard to work for the Lord
When you don’t take the time to hear his word
But the Lord has prepared a banquet for you
Mary has chosen the greater part
All that he asks, is you spend time with him
So he won’t have to say it again!
“Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha
I believe and I perceive, 
You are troubled by too many things
And that is to care for the things of her heart.”
