Lyrics:

                                                  
THE WORK WAS DONE

VERSE 1:
The rooster crowed, the sun arose
A humble man with calloused hands
Was waking up, a long day to come
Building things that last while sunlight passed

PRE-CHORUS:
And he wouldn’t stop
Based on a clock…

CHORUS:
When the work was done, he could finally rest
Knowing that everyone he had served had been blessed
That he hadn’t quit ‘til everything he did was finished with blood, sweat, and love
He kept goin’ ‘til he could go home when the work was done

VERSE 2:
He always helped, those who themselves
Just couldn’t seem to meet their own needs
Even travelled around, from town to town
Spreading a little peace with everyone he’d meet

PRE-CHORUS 2:
From widows to orphans
To the sick and poor then…

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
His selfless life came to an end and all who knew him felt the loss
As they watched the one who saved them hang upon a cross

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG:
The rooster crowed, the Son arose
God and man with nail-scarred hands
