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.
