"It is time for Thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy Law.... Therefore I esteem all Thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way" (Psalm 119:126,128). "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).
Lord, it's time for You to work,
And time for us as well.
The powers of the darkness lurk
And lead the way to hell.
Yet in this present darkness now
Your truth gives us a song.
Your precepts rightly tell us how
To know what's right and wrong.
We hear it in the public school
And everywhere we find
The godless teaching of the fool;
The blind thus lead the blind.
Yet we are workmen from Your school
And soldiers in Your field.
Your Gospel is our harvest tool;
Your truth, our sword and shield.
Yes, we are workmen You have sent;
We'll work, Lord, as we learn.
And since the night is now far spent,
We'll watch for Your return.
