about

In scripture, "harvest" is a symbol of both evangelism (Luke 10:2) and God's judgement (Joel 3:13).

This song features himalayan "singing bowls" from Nepal.

lyrics

He gave them gold from his own hand
Wanting them to put it to work
But one of them hid it in the sand
For he feared his master’s return

For the harvest is plentiful, and the workers are few
And the Spirit is willing, are you?
For the winepress is full of grapes, and the cotton is high
And the Kingdom is coming, am I?

It’s not too late for me to start
And there’s always work to be done
I have no choice but to do my part
For this life is my only one

For the harvest is plentiful, and the workers are few
And the Spirit is willing, are you?
For the winepress is full of grapes, and the cotton is high
And the Kingdom is coming, am I?

Don’t fall asleep, this world is hurt,
Longing for the God that I claim
I tell myself I must stay alert
For all other work is in vain

For the harvest is plentiful, and the workers are few
And the Spirit is willing, are you?
For the winepress is full of grapes, and the cotton is high
And the Kingdom is coming, am I?

When the master returns again in the unforeseen time,
Other hands will be working, will mine?
When the Kingdom has come at last, and the harvest is done,
There are not many workers, am I one?
