Name: Martha Martha
Duration: P00H04M28S
Description: I wrote this song originally for a women's conference "She chose what was best" expounding on the story of Martha and Mary from Luke 10 in the Bible. But it goes so much deeper in my life- I am so like Martha, running around trying to get everything done. It is so difficult to have the peace of Mary- the peace only Jesus can deliver.

lyrics

Martha, Martha
Words and Music by Julie Kinscheck

(CHORUS) Oh, Martha, Martha
I’m an awfully lot like you
Always worried ‘bout somethin’
And it seems like I am, too
Oh, Mary, Mary
How I long to know your peace
Just a sittin’ listenin’, listenin’
At His feet- Oh, at His feet!

(VERSE) At work I am a lady- Try to do my best
Try to keep my patience when life puts me to the test
But deadline make me anxious
And stress can take its toll
I pray to God to somehow keep me whole

(CHORUS) Oh, Martha, Martha…

(VERSE) I’ve friends I need to care for- relationships take time
My family needs their dinner- gotta meet someone by 9
Gotta make myself attractive
Or tell me how can I find love
I pray to know that somehow God’s enough!

(BRIDGE) Oh Father, Holy Father!
There’s so much I wanna do!
Lead me, Father, Lead me!
I so desperately need you!
Hold me, Father, Hold me!
So I can know your rest
Then I’ll pray to you and love you
Help me choose what is best!

(CHORUS) Oh, Martha, Martha…
