Too Late To Labor


“Moses gave commandment… Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.  So the people were restrained from bringing.  For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much” (Exodus 36:6,7).  “If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself” (Proverbs 9:12).  “If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another” (1 John 1:7). 

Beware of counting on tomorrow
To do the labor of today,
For some discover to their sorrow
The great mistake of their delay.

We read that Moses gave command
To no more labor on the stuff 
To make the tabernacle planned,
For willing hearts had brought enough. 

Our Savior promised He would build
His Church, and He shall never fail. 
That promise made shall be fulfilled;
The gates of hell shall not prevail. 

His faithfulness does not depend
On whether we are faithful too.
He shall accomplish in the end
The work He said that He would do. 

The night is coming, Jesus said,
When work no longer can be done. 
Yet if by Him we will be led,
We shall partake as souls are won. 

So let us walk within the light
That shines upon our Savior’s path
And labor now before the night
To rescue souls from coming wrath! 

Our service, Lord, You do not need,
But You have granted us this favor
To follow You where You will lead
To show the lost there is a Savior! 

We thank You, Lord, for fellowship
With those who labor in Your field,
As by Your Spirit You equip
Our hearts with wisdom as we yield. 

Lord, send us with Your declaration
To show Your wondrous love so great
And preach Your Gospel of salvation
As labor yet is not too late.
