Workin' for Jesus - Dave Carter, Tracy Grammer

She’s a little overdressed, but it never hurts to shine

She invokes the turtle dove, she awaits the number 9

Standin' alone in the grey of the morning

But soon the riders come to wait, and they take their papers out

They do not know the girl, but they know that she’s about

Keepin' the light and the warnin'

And the bus comes like thunder

And the doves rise around her

And she don’t mind the winter

'cause she’s workin' for jesus

And she’s workin' for love

And she’s workin' for love

There’s a clock beside the bed, there’s a bible on the stand

She will come home after dark, she will take the book in hand

Feelin' the grains of the black leather bindin'

And so she speaks to me sometimes of flesh and mortal chains

And where the ashes go, and the spirit that remains

Risin' like mist, see it shinin'

And her words sound like thunder

And the spirit has found her

And she knows how to reach me

Cause she’s workin for jesus

And she’s workin for love

And she’s workin for love

Well, I have set my foot upon the road of black and white

I have passed the gates of dawn, I am makin' for the light

Barrin' the door on the darkness and sorrow

But she is somewhere up ahead, she is far beyond my reach

She has walked across the sea, she is sleepin' on the beach

Borderin' time and tomorrow

And her days pass in wonder

And the angels surround her

And she don’t even miss me

Cause she’s workin for jesus

And she’s workin for love

She’s workin for jesus

And she’s workin for love

And she’s workin for jesus

And she’s workin for love

And she’s workin for love

And she’s workin for love

And she’s workin for love

And she’s workin for love
