not wages at all

The coin from the owner
the vineyard owner
not wages at all
a gift, life
grace to save us
the key to heaven
the coin we receive
eternal life
nothing we earn
our true wages
eternal death
the gift of salvation
from our time in the vineyard
sharing the Good News
in response to God’s love.
