A Song for The Workplace : When I Feel I’m Just a Number



(Can be sung to the tune Oriel)

When I feel I’m just a number   

Managers don’t know my name,

I can call out to my Saviour, 

He knows me and shares my pain.

I can call out to my Saviour,

He knows me and shares my pain.

 

When the day is fraught with pressure,

Targets changed capriciously,

I can take it to the Saviour,

ask for grace and energy.

I can take it to the Saviour,

ask for grace and energy.

 

When I find my work - life balance

Leaves me feeling I’m beset,

I can take it to the Saviour, 

seek the wisdom to re-set.

I can take it to the Saviour, 

seek the wisdom to re-set.

 

When co-workers use foul language,

Crude and even blasphemy,

I can plead before my Saviour,

‘Help them speak less violently.’

I can plead before my Saviour,

‘Help them speak less violently.’

 

If the company sheds workers

Casually or brutally,

I’ll entreat my loving Saviour,

‘Help me calm the agonies.’

I’ll entreat my loving Saviour

‘Help me calm the agonies.’
