Martha came and found her at His feet again
Sitting there hanging on each word He said
She said, "Carest not Lord, that I'm left to serve alone
Bid her come and help me bear this load"
But He said, "Martha, Martha, in your eagerness to serve
You are careful and troubled about many things
But one thing is needful and your choices have been made
And what Mary's chosen I won't take away"
She has chosen that good part
The one needful thing
And she knows deep in her heart
The joy that it brings
It's the one thing that she wants
More than anything
She has chosen that good part
The one needful thing
Another day they found her at His feet again
Sitting there pouring costly oil on Him
And Judas said, "Tell me what this great waste is for
Why did we not give it's worth unto the poor"
But then he heard the Master as He said
"Leave her alone, for she has kept this for the day of my burying
For me you have not always but the poor will always be
And she hath chosen that one needful thing"
She has chosen that good part
The one needful thing
And she knows deep in her heart
The joy that it brings
It's the one thing that she wants
More than anything
She has chosen that good part
The one needful thing
It's the one thing that He wants
So much more than anything
Have you chosen that good part
The one needful thing
