Workers in the Fields

In the vineyards, the wilderness
light in the darkness
workers in the field
continuing the work of Christ

Whenever we come to believe
each called to do our part
serving our neighbors in the world
grace at the heart

Beginning to work, to go
to be Christ’s hands and feet
humbly serving out in the world
to spread God’s message of love

None of us deserving
the gift of God’s love
all of us fallen, falling short
of the commands to love

We gain a reward
not by our time, our work
only by the grace of the living God
bringing us into his love
