MARTHA, MARTHA

(Sung to the tune of "Bicycle Built for Two")

Master, Master, Mary's not helping me
She's just sitting. I'm working hard you see
We have to prepare the meal now
You must know how I feel now
We need to sup
Please get her up
She should help me—don't you agree?

Martha, Martha, so much is troubling you
Mary is learning things that are good and true
She wants to sit down so let her
For she has chosen better
And you would do well
To sit for a spell next to
Mary and listen too
 

Struggling, straining, striving for some reward
Just like Martha we can forget the Lord
The Bible is ours to read now
God's fellowship we need now
Yes we would do well
To sit for a spell just like
Mary and listen too

Yes we would do well
To sit for a spell just like
Mary and listen too

    Luke 10:38—42
