Lasting Labor

"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it" (Psalm 127:1). "And when they [Paul and Barnabas] were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that GOD had done with them, and how HE had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles" (Acts 14:27).

Labor that is done if vain
Is all the work of man.
How wasted is the work and pain
In every godless plan.

Working as a bumble bee,
Running hard and fast,
Surely will not guarantee
The work that's done will last.

It's not the laborer that's skilled
That guarantees success;
It's only as the Lord will build,
And as the Lord will bless.

Keep this principle in mind
In everything you do,
And lasting labor you will find,
As God is using you.
