There is peace and contentment in my Father’s house today Lots of food on the 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 my field No one wants to work my field Push away from the table Look out through the windowpane Just beyond this house of plenty Lies a field of golden grain And it’s ripened unto harvest But the reapers, where are they? In the house Oh, count 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 my field No one wants to work my field Souls are crying Men are dying Won’t you lead them to the cross Go and find them Help to win them Win the lost at any cost But no one wants to work in my field No one wants to work in my field
There is peace and contentment in my Father’s house today
Lots of food on the 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 my field
No one wants to work my field
Push away from the table
Look out through the windowpane
Just beyond this house of plenty
Lies a field of golden grain
And it’s ripened unto harvest
But the reapers, where are they?
In the house
Oh, count 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 my field
No one wants to work my field
Souls are crying
Men are dying
Won’t you lead them to the cross
Go and find them
Help to win them
Win the lost at any cost
But no one wants to work in my field
No one wants to work in my field
