Takin' Care of Business
You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your trains on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out
If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
O.K.. So this wasn't exactly a blog that edifies the body. The truth is that life can get pretty mundane sometimes. I think of this song a lot when I am walking to the train station and then taking the morning commute to downtown Atlanta. Sometimes I feel like I am programmed like some sort of robot. It can get old real fast. But praise God that I do have a job, for that I am grateful.
But I also know that I don't just work for man, I work for God!
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
I find quit a few opportunities during the day to be a witness even if it's just reading my bible on the train ride, or buying some homeless guy lunch.
We all have business to take care of. We are of course in the world. Not of it, but in it. And we can mix all that "busy-ness" with taking a little time each day to be about our Father's business too!
...........I must be about my Father's business....
