We work
We sweat
Until the sun has set
We sing
We sing
And make the hammers ring
The days are long
But we are strong
And work with all our might
We work
We sweat
Until the sun has set
We sing
We sing
And make the hammers ring
The years are long
But we are strong
And work with all our might
(We work) Weave the baskets, strong and sturdy
Stretch the rope out far and wide
(We sweat) Everything fulfills its purpose
Everything to God's design
(We build) Every basket specially made with caring hands
(Build the rooms and build the cages)
(Keep the animals safe inside)
It's our task, it's in Jehovah's plan
The sun has set
Hoist the beams up
Make them strong
Make the rope
And make it long
Seal the gaps
And seal them tight
Work all day
And sleep at night
The days are long
But we are strong
And work with all our might
Heave!
Heave!
Heave!
We'll be faithful to the Faithful One
With all that's said and done
Working with Him
It's the way we're meant to live
Trusting in His perfect love
And wisdom from above
Walking with Him
It's the way we're meant to live
Walking with Him
It's the way we're meant to live
Walking with Him
It's the way we're meant to live
It's the way we're meant to live
