She Heard His Word

Mary meekly sat at Jesus’ feet

Where she heard His word.

Never did she worry what they’d eat,

For her heart was stirred.

Martha made a meal to serve her King—

Hurried, worried, work!

Never would she sit to hear a thing,

Never would she shirk!

Jesus gently pointed out one thing

Needful for His host—

Martha should have sat and heard her King,

For that matters most.
