This one is very special, we are blessed indeed.

Martha

Oh Martha, oh Martha

down upon your knees

with a million plans

how do you stand with a world

you seek to please

Have you scrubbed the tables?

and have you scrubbed

the floors?

The man they call

the Son of God

is coming to your door



Oh Mary oh Mary

my sister don’t you see?

There’s no time for listening

to the one who sets you free

Help me my dear sister

Help me shed my load

The man who comes is known

by some as the

light of the world



And Jesus came and

sat upon the floor

and boldly told his tale

of love and life

And blessing with his words

upon the dry and barren souls

they are filled with light



And Martha’s temper rises

like the burnin’ of the sun

How can Mary listen

with much work to be done?

And Martha screams in anger

I can not work alone

And the calm that once

embraced them

has become,

has become a storm.



Oh Martha oh Martha

Jesus gently speaks

Mary’s right to sit by me

and listen while I preach

There’ll be time for cleaning

and there’ll be time for chores

but how much time

will you have

with the one who saves

your soul.



Oh Jesus I am lost to a world

that steals my sight

Seems the more I try to do

the more i seem to fight

If I can still my soul

for just a while here with you

I know I’ll be free

and I know

I will see the truth.
