Oh Martha

Too busy to hear
to believe, to sit
to know, understand
the Master

Busy being perfect
the Proverbs 31 woman
Getting form right
all substance amiss

Metaphor for the law, the leaders
the people bent on earning
when grace is the means
and always was

Healing even from death
Stop Martha, slow down
hear the message
and believe
