MARY FOR A WHILE – Sue C. Smith and Barbara Huffman
LYRICS
A quiet afternoon in Bethany, Mary sits alone at Jesus feet.
But in the other room, Martha had so much to do.
She’s missing out on fellowship sweet.
And I know I could be Martha all day.
And let my chance to be with You, slip away.
CHORUS
I want to be Mary for a while, in all that I do.
Close the door to everything that keeps my heart from You.
Lord, I want to rest here and feel heaven’s smile.
I want to be Mary for a while.
I know I’d make Martha proud of me.
With lots to do and places I must be.
Yet, I need this time to refresh my heart and mind.
Your presence Lord is just what I need.
Cause I know I could be Martha all day
And let my chance to be with you, slip away.
CHORUS
I want to be Mary for a while, in all that I do.
Close the door to everything that keeps my heart from You.
Lord, I want to rest here and feel heaven’s smile.
I want to be Mary for a while.
BRIDGE
Draw me nearer. Draw me nearer precious, Lord.
Draw me nearer to Your side.
REFRAIN
Lord, I want to rest here and feel heaven’s smile.
I want to be Mary, for a while.
