Lyric discussion by JoshPowell 

Cover art for Work lyrics by Jars of Clay

'We wrote this song out on the road, which we don’t really do a lot. It was sort of our first experience writing as a full band, with our drummer and our bass player in the mix. I wrote the lyrics about a week after hanging out with these guys and getting their stories. One of the things that we all just fight against is isolation. Sort of the root, our tendency is to sort of be alone. But being alone causes us to believe things about ourselves that aren’t true, and it’s the downward spiral.' - Dan Haseltine (Jars Of Clay)

And we don't ever have to be alone! Because in God we find our true identity, that to Him, we are more precious than all the riches in the world
