Workin So Hard


Workin so hard every day for more hours than I should have
Honest I would have gone home earlier if I could have
But the people and the pressure of so many last minute things
They demand so much of my time and a mountain of energy

        Monday...tired...so tired...got to work so hard all week
        Tuesday...weak....so weak...worked so hard just want to sleep
        Wednesday...wired...so wired...worked so hard it's hard to sleep
        Thursday...weary...so weary...worked so hard just want to weep
        Friday...relieved...so relieved...thank God it's Friday!

Workin so hard every day after day why? just to keep my sanity!
You don't understand: if I don't do it, they just leave it for me!
When I see mountains of work I see mountains of time, don't you see? 
They demand so much of my time and a mountain of energy!

        Monday...tired...so tired...got to work so hard all week
        Tuesday...weak....so weak...worked so hard just want to sleep
        Wednesday...wired...so wired...worked so hard it's hard to sleep
        Thursday...weary...so weary...worked so hard just want to weep
        Friday...relieved...so relieved...thank God it's Friday!

I have to be honest sometimes I fear gettin burned out
But that's why I thank my Jesus with praise and a shout!
He keeps me goin day after day after day by His grace
He gently reminds me I need to finish the race!

        Monday...tired...so tired...got to work so hard all week
        Tuesday...weak....so weak...worked so hard just want to sleep
        Wednesday...wired...so wired...worked so hard it's hard to sleep
        Thursday...weary...so weary...worked so hard just want to weep
        Friday...relieved...so relieved...thank God it's Friday!
but Saturday...so thankful...a day of rest!
and Sunday...praise God for Sunday!...I thank God I'm so blessed!
