She won’t listen To my frustration Blended with the exhilaration Of being near His precious Son The One who gives Us a promise of Unending love She doesn’t value My work and toil And fills like she deserves Better treatment, more worth Than myself, who serves With a servant’s heart Yet I feel like I’m Last to be fed From His spirit The Savior’s bread She can’t see That my work is never done I can’t make her see I need her to be More helpful, Useful Mary won’t listen to me The sister who believes In giving from my spirit All the service I can minister Yet, I see She is blessed By being Near His breast Where she is fed The best bread
Luke 10 38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

A controversial passage, but I believe Jesus feels teaching is more important than lavish food. ~~
