Waitress Song

Mary was a waitress, she wore a uniform
A cross of gold around her neck
and a pin that said the "Jesus is Lord"

Six a.m. was stage call, you see, Mary worked for Bill
And she prayed for his salvation at the Lido Bar & Grill
The same old cast of characters
would come and go each day
Marilyn and Bobby, Leslie, Arthur, Tom & Greg

(In her world) the diner was God's stage
A divine creation (in her world)

Mary's life was her witness, she rarely needed words
Her smile reflected Jesus
And with a servant's heart she'd serve
Marilyn and Bobby were about to get divorced
Arthur had his money, Leslie, Tom & Greg seemed lost

(chorus)
(In her world) the diner was God's stage
(In her world) a divine creation
(In her world) Mary prayed each night for their salvation

A waitress/psychologist, the thought just made her smile
As she listened to their problems
Mary prayed for them each night
Mary knew forgiveness, she was always slow to speak
She always let them finish every story, every tear

Marilyn and Bobby, Leslie, Tom & Greg
Well, they all came back to Jesus
Thanks to Mary's life they said
Mary's life was her witness
She knew it was God's grace
That always kept her humble
You see, Mary knew her place

(chorus)
