Serving, helping, giving
And all the work that goes along
Loving, caring, and entertaining
Pouring everything out
Giving everything for Jesus
Cleaning and preparing for Him
That’s the story of Martha
Her way of loving was service
She wanted everything to be perfect
She had a heart of a servant
She wanted Jesus to be pleased
So she could reach His heart
But she missed out on the best
Because she was so busy
Spending her time for Jesus
She forgot to be with Him
She saw only what needed done
And didn’t stop to listen
Isn’t that the way we live our lives
So busy with our work
We choose the way of Martha
Instead of being with Jesus
We choose even our ministry
Above just being with Him
But Mary chose the better way
She longed to be with Him
She left the work that needed done
And spent her time
On the floor,
By his feet,
Listening to His words,
And wonderfully,
She found His heart
