Miss Martha Lyrics

Hey, Miss Martha, can I

Hey, Miss Martha, can I

Beg you to make some time for Jesus Christ

Whoa-o-oh

With angry looks she cooked

And set food down before Him

She never took a break at all

Then Martha said to Christ

I'm left to wash and dry

My sister pays no mind

She sits on her... behind

CHORUS

She was aghast perhaps

At how the Lord responded

He said relax and settle down

You've mopped and swept and wiped

It kept you occupied

And while it killed some time

You left the best behind

CHORUS

Martha looked as if she was a very busy bee

But she had a bee inside her bonnet

As the custom was she ran the house with guests around

Without help

Well, these dishes ain't just gonna go do themselves

And the silverware it needs some polish

Really, Lord, if I don't clean it never gets done

No-one ever helps me, Lord, it's filthy -- that's the problem

Hey, Miss Martha, can I

Hey, Miss Martha, can I

Beg you to make some time for Jesus Christ

REPEAT

Luke 10:40

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
