Mixture of Mary & Martha

Judy Welden

True balance is something I've struggled with all my grown up life
I wanted to use my talents, yet be a good wife
I'm torn between Mary and Martha in all I do
I want to pray more, Lord, but my work kept me from you

(CHORUS)
Seems like Mary & Martha seldom agreed
As they tried to please you and see to your needs
I'm a mixture of Mary & Martha
And I always will be
Jesus, I beg you... please accept me for me

Mary and Martha showed gracious hospitality
They both served faithfully, yet differently
Martha cooked and kept their home fresh as an ocean breeze
Mary washed your feet and listened, while on her knees

CHORUS

(BRIDGE)
Let me be like both of those women way back then
Being the best I can be and serving you to the end

CHORUS

(TAG)
I'm a mixture of Mary and Martha
Please accept me for me
