Mary sat with Jesus, she was not like her sister
Cranky Martha did her jobs with no one to assist her
Jesus said to both of them, "Well, you just faced a test
Martha chose the good, but Mary chose the best"
There's the good (there's the good)
And there's the best (there's the best)
Live by faith (live by faith)
Take the test (take the test)
Pray for help (pray for help)
When you're stressed (when you're stressed)
Leave the good (leave the good)
Choose the best (choose the best)
Well, it's good to weed the kitchen, there are always beds to mow
It's good to dust the chickens, tick the jobs off as you go
But Jesus wants our hearts and minds, his word is good and true
Put Jesus at the very top of everything you do
There's the good (there's the good)
And there's the best (there's the best)
Live by faith (live by faith)
Take the test (take the test)
Pray for help (pray for help)
When you're stressed (when you're stressed)
Leave the good (leave the good)
Choose the best (choose the best)
Oh, I've got so much to do
I've got to polish the guinea pigs
Vacuum my nose
Concrete the groceries
Cook up my clothes
Shampoo my homework
Paint my cat blue
Walk my gorilla
Practice kung fu
How can I serve God when I have still so much to do?
Well, there's the good (there's the good)
And there's the best (there's the best)
Live by faith (live by faith)
Take the test (take the test)
Pray for help (pray for help)
When you're stressed (when you're stressed)
Leave the good (leave the good)
Choose the best (choose the best)
Ask your great and heavenly Father
Make you Mary, not a Martha
Don't be angry if the shoe fits
Choose the Lord and not the do list
If you're a fusser or a fretter
Take the plunge and choose the better
And pray for help (pray for help)
When you're stressed (when you're stressed)
Leave the good (leave the good)
And choose the best (choose the best)
Leave the good (leave the good)
And choose the best (choose the best)
Now, where did I leave my diomandible axolotl

It was just here before I started the song
