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."
