back-breaking work – v2


God sends workers
into the field, the harvest;
we are to be the workers
in this time and place
serving where God has led

back-breaking work
but so worth the effort
the harvest worthy
for the table, the feast,
the banquet to come
in the courts of heaven

the fruit ready, ripe,
out in the fields, the vineyards
back-breaking work
for the harvest is plentiful
the workers are few
those committed to Jesus
those seeking to bring in
the harvest home
