MARY’S HEART AND MARTHA’S HANDS
By Carlene Thissen & Martha Christian, copyright 2013
VERSE 1
He came with his disciples to a place called Bethany
Welcomed to the home of Martha and Mary
Mary joined the men to hear the master speak
Martha thought about the food they’d need.
CHORUS
Mary sat at Jesus feet waiting for each word
Martha knew just what he'd need, she kept on with her work
Help me find a way to be a perfect blend
of Ma -ry's heart and Martha's hands
VERSE 2
Martha told the Lord It doesn’t seem quite fair
I’m doing all this work While Mary listens there
I know that you’ll be hungry, Though I long to hear your voice”
He said, “Mary made the better choice.”
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
I turn off my alarm Lie still, and pray
There’s so much to get done It’s gonna be a busy day
Give me time to listen, Time for working, too
Time for peace in everything I do
FINAL CHORUS
