To Be Last

To Be Last

I need a job You gave me one

I will work hard until told I am done

I was early I needed the job

So I will not have the impulse to rob

I did nothing wrong

My wages reveal I am strong

Wow look how late and he just got hired

Maybe someone just got tired

Alright my wages yay

Really great money I pulled in today

Wait you just hired them wait

They get the same hey that’s not great

The boss is here I’ll ask what’s going on

He told me I paid you what’s wrong

He let me know it’s not my affair

I did my job well He noticed I care

But this is just a story of patience and mercy

Of both our Lord has plenty

Now It’s our turn to learn

Else we might find ourselves in a big burn

So last in line to get my food

Patience tells us to wait for it will be good

Never race to be the first

To get to a fountain to quench your thirst

There may be some who need it more

Learn to wait and hold open the door

Amen
