Back to the Beginning

"And he (Abram) went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto to the place where his tent had been at the beginning... unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.... And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art" (Genesis 13:3,4,14). "Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest" (John 4:35).

Look back to the place you began,
To the place where you called on the Lord,
When you learned of His judgment and ran
To the refuge His cross would afford.

Now lift up your eyes on the fields,
From the place where you presently are.
The grace in the harvest that yields
Is the grace that has led you thus far.
