God's Harvest
GOD=S HARVEST
As we race through life from day to day,
Struggling to keep up the pace,
Do we often stop to take time out to pray,
Thanking God for His marvelous grace?
Do we ever consider His awesome love
In calling us for His own?
He searched our hearts from heaven above,
And in them His truth He has sown.
We must always be working to make them grow,
Nurturing each little sprout.
We must cultivate and water each row,
Keeping the bad weeds out.
For Satan is always working hard,
The good seed to destroy;
So we must always be on guard
Against his evil ploy.
We are God=s harvest; the earth is His field;
With Satan=s tares we must grow.
We must overcome; good fruit we must yield,
Or, into the fire, we will go!
Of His own free will, God has chosen some
As firstfruits from the sod,
To be offered to God when their harvest has come;
They shall be holy to God.
In the feast of ingathering, the angels shall reap;
The tares, in the flame will be cast;
But those who are bearing much fruit, He will keep;
They will be in His Kingdom at last!
