Representative Text

1 The Master is seeking a harvest
In lives He’s redeemed by His blood;
He seeks for the fruit of the Spirit,
And works that will glorify God.

Refrain:
Nothing but leaves for the Master,
Oh, how His loving heart grieves,
When instead of the fruit He is seeking,
We offer Him nothing but leaves.

2 He looks for His likeness reflected
In lives that are yielded and true;
He’s looking for zeal in the winning
Of souls He’s entrusted to you. [Refrain]

3 He’s yearning for some one to carry
The life-giving word far and near;
He’s waiting for hearts that are willing,
For ears that are open to hear. [Refrain]
