Martha loved Jesus so much She labored for him quite a bunch She wanted everything to be just right And to be so perfect in his sight
But Mary chose the better way She wanted to hear what Jesus would say So she sat at the Dear Savior's feet And heard his word that was so sweet
May we take time to hear Jesus speak The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak May we not be too cumbered with trivial things But listen to Jesus' words and the hope that it brings
Jesus' words will bring comfort to your heart And guide your course and with his spirit impart His words are more important than any other thing Just hide them in your heart and to them cling
Luke 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
