A hymn inspired by the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42)

Hymn: inspired by the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42) - Sometimes when all our busyness 

1	Sometimes when all our busyness 
	is just too much bear 
	remember Jesus kindly words 
	with Mary sitting there.
	
2	The words that Martha felt unfair 
	gave leave to stop and be, 
	and those who need the peace of God 
	have reason to feel free.
	
3	So when for any one of us 
	the pressure is too great, 
	then stop, take stock, and rest awhile, 
	it never is too late.
