Lyrics
There is peace and contentment in the Father's house today;
Lots of food on His table and no one is turned away;
There is singing and laughter as the hours pass by,
But a hush calms the singing as the Father sadly cries:
"My house is full, but My field is empty;
Who will go and work for Me today?
It seems My children all want to stay around my table,
But no one wants to work in My field"
Push away from the table, look out through the window pane;
Just beyond the house of plenty lies a field of golden grain;
And its white unto harvest but the reapers, where are they?
In the house, Oh, can't the children hear the Father sadly say:
"My house is full, but My field is empty;
Who will go and work for Me today?
It seems My children all want to stay around my table,
But no one wants to work in My field"
