SONG 81
The Life of a Pioneer
1. At the start of the day, with the sun yet to rise,
We are making our way
with the sleep in our eyes, and we pray.
We are there with a smile for the people we meet.
Some may stop for a while,
some pass by on the street, but we stay.
(CHORUS)
It’s the life that we choose;
For Jehovah we live.
And whatever he asks, we will do.
In the work we endure,
Whether sunshine or rain.
It’s a way we can say ev’ry day: “I love you.”
2. At the end of the day, with the sun sinking low,
Feeling happy and tired,
in our heart there’s a glow, and we pray.
It’s a life that we love, always giving our best.
And Jehovah we thank,
for by him we are blessed ev’ry day.
(CHORUS)
It’s the life that we choose;
For Jehovah we live.
And whatever he asks, we will do.
In the work we endure,
Whether sunshine or rain.
It’s a way we can say ev’ry day: “I love you.”
