What jobs have you had?
Pain sandwiched by joy
That’s the Job I know
Life meets with success
Then the devil gets into my details
I cry to God about this mess
Friends offer help that fails
Until I’ve given up and confess
I’ve no control no wind in my sails
—
Then mercy and grace
Slip through the cracks
In the wall I replace
Each time I fall on my face
When I get off track
Only to find the only job
I ever had was never mine
In the first place
