Just a Nursery Worker

"I'm just a Nursery worker

Why should I even go?
If I'm not there at church today
Nobody's going to know."

That might be what you told yourself
This morning as you dressed
But let me tell you my thoughts now
And put your heart at rest.

My Sundays as a mother
Are hectic—that is true
And there are days I wonder
If I'll ever make it through.

But then my mind remembers
Nursery's just an hour away!
I'll get through one more sacrament
And go to class today!

Please know how much I love you.
I'm thankful that you came.
Tonight I'll thank our Father
And praise your blessed name.
