Skip The Dishes Martha

Skip The Dishes Martha

The Lord was invited to Martha's house
For a time of fellowship
And Martha got busy as all get out
To make the most of it
But she was tiffed a tad
When Mary hung around
With all of the others gathered there
Leaving Martha to work alone

Marrha was cumbured about with much serving
And said unto the Lord...don't You care
That Mary has left me to serve alone
Bid her to help me here
But the Lord said unto Martha
Thou art careful and troubled about many things
There is but one thing that is needful
And Mary has chosen that thing

Skip the dishes Martha
The Lord is in the house
Come and sit by Mary
It will be a far better choice
Surely the presence 
Of the Lord is in this place
Skip the dishes Martha
Come... enjoy my saving grace

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
