The cardinals were singing 
While the hawk sat on his perch 
All the pigeons were just sleeping in 
When woodpecker went to work!

And his tapping kept reminding me 
I still have a job to do 
And just sitting round and dreaming 
Is not what God has planned to do 

For even though He gives us song 
And to rest awhile is fine 
 He still has more for us in store 
To do in Summertime 

For there’s a garden we must plant 
With rows to weed and tend 
And water with our tears and prayers 
Till His kingdom come again
