Mary sat down and stayed for awhile
Listened at your feet.
Yet a thousand Marthas rush,
scuff the dust from here to there
Busy with life, but going nowhere
Sometimes the flurry of things to be done
with our hands and our feet
only cover the heart
That God wants to meet
Like the elder son's toil
we are working for Him
like a slave to a king
too busy to stop
or to look and to see
He's our father who says,
"Come, sit here with me."
So put down your things!
Come and sit here a while
When you do, listen up -
and you'll soon start to smile.
