[Verse]
Martha's hands were busy
Heart in a race
Dust on the table
Worry on her face
But Mary sat still
Her spirit so free
Lord I don’t want the world
Just You close to me
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be Martha
Lost in the grind
Chasing after shadows
Leaving peace behind
I wanna be like Mary
Sitting at Your feet
Finding all I need in Your love so sweet
[Verse 2]
The pots were clanging
The bread in the fire
But Mary found the truth her heart could desire
While Martha spun circles
Caught in her care
Mary’s quiet soul found heaven right there
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be Martha
Lost in the grind
Chasing after shadows
Leaving peace behind
I wanna be like Mary
Sitting at Your feet
Finding all I need in Your love so sweet
[Bridge]
Teach me to listen
Teach me to stay
Let the noise of the world fade far away
For in Your presence my heart will sing
Lord
You’re my treasure
My everything
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be Martha
Lost in the grind
Chasing after shadows
Leaving peace behind
I wanna be like Mary
Sitting at Your feet
Finding all I need in Your love so sweet
