No Sluggard Hands
Wake up, little hands — diligence is treasure. A driving children's worship song about doing morning work with joy, walking with peers in the way of the Lord, and serving the ones He has placed to care for us.

No Sluggard Hands — Lyrics
Verse 1
Wake up, little hands Morning work is good Keep your little lamp bright Do what you should Proverbs says, be wise Don't love sleepy ways Diligence is treasure Shining through your days
Verse 2
Peter heard and went Matthew left the booth When Jesus called their names They followed in the truth
Chorus
No sluggard hands No sluggard hands We work with joy We work with joy No sluggard hands No sluggard hands Jesus leads us on
Verse 3
If you will not work You should not eat That's the way of peace That's the way to meet Honor Mom and Dad Listen, kind and true Thank the ones the Lord Has placed to care for you Pray for those who give Homes and jobs and bread God can use their hands To feed the ones He's led
Bridge
Farmer in the field Hard work bears good fruit Strengthen weak knees now Stand up straight and strong Let what is lame be healed And keep us moving on
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.”
Little lesson for little hearts
Hard work isn't a punishment — it's a way to serve Jesus. When you tidy a toy or help a brother, you're working for the King of kings. We don't earn God's love by working; we work because He has already loved us in Christ, and our cheerful hands are a thank-you back to Him.
