THE ONLY JOB THAT PAYS
You gotta let it go
Cause its bringing you down
You gotta lift up your hands
And let your voice ring out
You oughta know by now
That hate weighs too much
I can’t wait to fly
So I gotta give it up
And love all you friends
And love all your kin
And love all your neighbors
And let love be your labor
Cause in the end
It’s the only job that pays
Let go your hurt
Let go your pain
It won’t keep you safe
It just attracts the rain
It just attracts the rain
And you gotta jump
Gotta sing it out
Lift up your hand
Let your voice ring out
Until the cold cruel world falls down
And we’ll build it again
And we’ll build it right
And let love be our labor
Oh cause in the end
It’s the only job that pays
You gotta let it go
Cause its bringing you down
You gotta lift up your hands
And let your voice ring out
You oughta know by now
That hate weighs too much
I can’t wait to fly
So I gotta give it up
Hey my friend
You are worth more than you know
I’m about to spread my wings
And I think, yeah I really think
That next it could be you
If you....
Let go your hurt
Let go your pain
It won’t keep you safe
It just attracts the rain
It just attracts the rain
And you gotta jump
Gotta sing it out
Lift up your hand
Let your voice ring out
Until the cold cruel world falls down
And we’ll build it again
And we’ll build it right
And let love be our labor
Oh cause in the end
It’s the only job that pays
Prayer to have The Only Job That Pays
Author of Love
We ask that you show us how to Love
We ask more so that you show us how YOU Love
Because our broken hearts and broken minds and broken World
They have all combined to give us strange Definitions of Love among other Words
We know that You are the Architect of Love
We know that Your Love includes Justice
We know that Your Love includes Law
We know that Your Love includes Grace
We know that Your Love Saves instead of Destroys
We know that Your Love is often misunderstood as Hate
When what You hate is watching Your Children and Your Truth Corrupted
When we Destroy ourselves and each other
When we term Luke warm affections nobler Names
When we promote what Destroys
When we hold back what would Save
We are not Loving
We are seeking our own Comfort and Security
We are failing to give a Love that would Change, Everything
”You are not to take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am ADONAI.”
Leviticus 19:18
“If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels
but have not love, I have become a noisy gong
or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy
and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains
but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give away all that I own and if I hand over my body so I might boast[a]
but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind,
it does not envy, it does not brag,
it is not puffed up, it does not behave inappropriately,
it does not seek its own way, it is not provoked,
it keeps no account of wrong, it does not rejoice over injustice
but rejoices in the truth; it bears all things,
it believes all things, it hopes all things,
it endures all things.
Love never fails—but where there are prophecies,
they will pass away; where there are tongues,
they will cease; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
but when that which is perfect has come,
then that which is partial will pass away.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see in a mirror dimly,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I will know fully,
even as I have been fully known.
But now these three remain—
faith, hope, and love.
And the greatest of these is love.”
1st Corinthians 13
