Good, Better, Best

There were three very special friends of Jesus
Mary, Martha and brother Lazarus
Count to three
One, two, three

Martha in the kitchen cooking a meal
She wanted to make sure it was a very big deal
One, two, three
Good, better, best

Martha had all the cleaning to do
And she worked and worked until it all looked new
One, two, three
Clean, cleaner, cleanest

Mary sat at Jesus' feet
This was a very, very special treat
One, two, three
Happy, happier, happiest

Martha was running round here and there
Checking, rushing, cooking, fussing, tidying a chair
One, two, three
Busy, busier, busiest

Martha got angry when Mary wasn't there
She steamed and fumed and was beyond despair
One, two, three
Angry, angrier, angriest

'Mary won't help me!' but Jesus said
'Mary chose the better thing and sat with me instead'
One, two, three,
Good, better, best

Working is good, time with God is better
Being with Jesus is the best of all
One, two, three
Good, better, best
