Lord the preacher standing tall

In good peace to one and all

And you got to be wise to realize

If you want to learn, you got to make sacrifice

If you want to know a lot of tricks

You might end up breaking stones with sticks

And you want to live together happily

Everybody say, yeah

And let us work and pray

Come let us work and pray

O God, now the preacher standing still

Trying to keep everyone a spiritual will

Even if you hear a child

Sometimes you go to have a loud mouth

Mommy, daddy, teacher, preacher

Telling me the kind of person they will like to see me going

Then I don't really control my destiny

But I do appreciate take on symphony

Come let us work and pray

All my friends and family that's telling me

The kind of person they will like to see me going

Well, I don't really control my destiny

But I do appreciate take on symphony

Come let us work and pray

Come let us work and pray every day
