Analysis of My Work Is My Prayer



"Nobody is watching! Our supervisor has gone for the day!
Slow down! Relax! And still you will get the same pay!"

"God is watching me twenty-four hours a day,
So I can't be lazy and rob my boss for the pay.
My work is a part of my daily prayer, young man,
Hence I always try to do my best whenever I can.
Loving people and work is to serve the Lord;
Satisfaction for a job well done is my daily reward."
