Workin For Jesus

CAPO: 2 Intro: She's a little overdressed But it never hurts to shine She invokes the turtle dove She awaits the number nine Standing alone in the grey of the morning But soon the riders come to wait And they take their papers out They do not know the girl But they know that she's about Keeping the light and the warning N.C. And the bus comes like thun--der And the doves rise around her And she don't mind the winter 'Cause she's workin' for Jesus And she's workin' for love And she's workin' for love INTERLUDE: There's a clock beside the bed There's a bible on the stand She will come home after dark She will take the book in hand Feeling the grains of the black leather binding And so, she speaks to me sometimes Of flesh and mortal chains And where the ashes go And the spirit that remains Rising like mist, see it shining N.C. And her words sound like thun--der And the spirit has found her And she knows how to reach me 'Cause she's workin' for Jesus And she's workin' for love And she's workin' for love INTERLUDE: Well, I have set my foot upon The road of black and white I have passed the gates of dawn I am making for the light Barring the door on the darkness and sorrow But she is somewhere up ahead She is far beyond my reach She has walked across the sea She is sleeping on the beach Bordering time and tomorrow N.C. And her days pass in won---der And the angels surround her And she don't even miss me 'Cause she's workin' for Jesus And she's workin' for love And she's workin' for Jesus And she's workin' for love And she's workin' for Jesus And she's workin' for love And she's workin' for love And she's workin' for love And she's workin' for love
