This song was written for a stake women's conference, focusing on the story of Mary and Martha. We are admonished to "choose the good part, choose Christ."
Lyrics: Martha, sweet Martha, beloved of the Lord,
Thou art cumbered much with serving, work has its own reward.
For thy lamp to shine forth brightly and light the path ahead
The oil must be replenished, thy spirit must be fed.
Choose the good part, listen to the Lord.
Choose the good part, feast upon His word.
Thou art careful and troubled by oh, so many things
Feel the peace and the comfort and wisdom that He brings.
Only one thing is needful, listen to your heart,
Choose the good part, choose Christ!
Daughter, sweet daughter, beloved of the Lord,
Has your life become too crowded with good things of the world?
For in daily serving others your well may soon run dry,
But Christ has living water, your need He will supply.
Choose the good part, listen to the Lord
Choose the good part, feast upon His word.
Thou art careful and troubled by oh, so many things,
Feel the peace and the comfort and wisdom that He brings.
Only one thing is needful, listen to your heart,
Choose the good part, choose Christ.
Choose Christ!
