The Harvest

"Behold I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields (the nations of the earth); for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto Life Eternal that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true - one soweth and another reapeth"

Every day we pass them by
yet we fail to realize
The people we pass on the street
are ripe for harvesting

A hint of sadness in their eyes
one can almost hear them sigh
You've passed another lost sheep
just waiting to be reaped

It's Harvest time! It's Harvest time!
Time to salvage hearts and minds
Time to rescue aching souls
Time to make them whole

They'll rejoice with us
when they know they must
Recieve the One who loves them so
that to the Cross he dared to go
and give his life that they might live
and every sin he will forgive
If only they'd embrace him
that one day they may face him
and live and not die
then tears of joy they'll cry

It's Harvest time! Time to reap
The souls for whom the Lord weeps
So many abused and hurting
So many bruised and broken
Let the many now be awoken
to the Truth that God loves them so
May they now turn to Jesus and follow
His Holy Spirit all the way home.....
