Laborers of Light

"They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness" (Psalm 82:5). "I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be My salvation unto the end of the earth" (Isaiah 49:6). "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest" (Luke 10:2).

God has been faithful to make His way known,
Though many have chosen to not understand.
How vast are the ways in which God has shown
The truth that delivers by His mighty hand.

Yet wide is the path that leads to destruction,
For this is the path which many will walk.
Instead of God's truth, they are choosing seduction.
They walk on in darkness; the light they will mock.

But God is still longing to show His salvation
To all who will hear Him and heed what is right.
And thus we are called us by His ordination
To be to the world His beacons of light.

The harvest is ready. The fields are white.
We are God's laborers, though we are few.
Called by His Spirit, renewed by His might,
Let's shine in this darkness until we are through.
