Lyrics

Martha and Mary

	Martha and Mary were sisters
As different as chalk and cheese
	Martha was uptight most of her life
	For Mary, life was a breeze
	She never worried ‘bout her future
	Or felt guilty about her past 
	She only lived for the present
	And how she could make it last
	She knew that life was for living 
	She wasn't an also ran
	And while Martha was fussing in the Kitchen
	Mary was listening to the man
	
	One day Jesus came calling
	He dropped in to say hello
	He brought along some disciples
	He thought they should get to know
	Martha started feeling real nervous
	She worried about how she was dressed
	So she beat a retreat to the kitchen
	To get some food for her guests
	She wondered if they'd like the apple tart
	Or cookies with strawberry jam
	And while Martha was fussing in the Kitchen
	Mary was listening to the man
	
	She sat at his feet and she listened
To everything he had to say
	He realised that she knew where she was at
	As she sat there on that day
	Meanwhile out in the kitchen
Martha was getting uptight
Buttering the scones
All on her own
She felt that it just wasn’t right
It was slowly driving her crazy 
That her sister wouldn’t lend her a hand
And while Martha was fussing in the Kitchen
	Mary was listening to the man


Martha confronted Jesus
She told him it just wasn’t fair
She just couldn’t hide 
She was burning inside 
She had to have help out there
He told her when she worried ‘bout so many things
There was no room for love in her heart
She had to slow down 
Stop running around
Her sister chose the better part
She sat by his side and she listened
He calmed her and took her hand
There was nobody fussing in the kitchen
And Martha was listening to the man
