Thankless Glory

Let me put my shoulder to the plough just one more time.

One more time.

 

Let me put my shovel to the dirt just one more time.

One more time.

 

Let me be the salt of the earth.

Let me put my shovel to the dirt.

And for what it’s worth,

it helps to ease my mind.

 

Let me put my back into the task just one more time.

One more time.

 

Let me give my all to the thankless job just one more time.

One more time.

 

Let me not be of the high and mighty mob.

Let me do the thankless job.

The proud just accuse and rob,

and tear apart my mind.

 

Let me put my shoulder to the plough just one more time.

One more time.

 

Let me put my shoulder to the plough.

Let a sweat break upon my brow.

And if the Lord will allow,

let it free my mind.

Just one more time.
