(\'Lord Jesus, think on me\')
Luke 10 v.38-42
********
Jesus in a village
Martha did encourage
Him, welcomed Him and disciples
Hospitality calls
And her sister Mary
Did sit and learn, so be
At Jesu\'s feet, His word she heard
Grace to her was conferred
Martha was distracted
And with Jesus she pled
Said, Lord, do you not care, it known
That I do serve alone?
Bid my sister that she
help prepare meals with me
Jesus replied, Martha, Martha
There need not be this stir
You are worried, careful
Troubled, many things call
For your attention, but there one
Thing needful to be done
And Mary has chosen
That good part, it the one
Which shall not be taken away
Form her, there no dismay
Lord, help us though many
Daily matters here be
To take time to your word learn, here
A priority dear
