My eyes are open for one more day
Fear strikes and grips my heart
What will happen to me this day?
I awake for this new day
The Lord is near as He has promised, forever and for always
What is it You have for me this day?
Off to work, that dreary place
Where people chat and gossip
Where no work is accomplished
At such a blazing pace
Lord, You know me best of all
And placed me where I can serve You as You call
To soothe the hearts of those in sorrow
To bring blessing upon tomorrow
Doing time for but a pittance
Don’t I deserve a little more?
My boss is cheap and shows no patience
As I slave away to do his chore
The work I do, I do for You
As to God and not to man
For if I don’t You’ll see right through me
At this day’s end, I will to stand
Home again and oh so lonely
No one here to share my grief
I close my eyes to sleep
Only to wake the demons deep inside
Fear strikes and grips my heart
No one here, my soul to keep
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take*
(*Final verse an 18th century children's prayer)
