Lord Of The Harvest

I hear bones rattling

Up from the dust an army rises

Lion of Judah in their hearts

Battle cries of love

Tears of brokenness

Tears of joy and compassion

Crushed bones mended

Voices released, creation

Like the David released from the marble

Out of the tombs into life

Kingdoms and men fall

A warrior bride emerges

Conquering cities and nations

Conquering with mercy

Defeating with peace

Ruling with love

Holy hands wave and powers quake

The warriors dance the dance of victory

The Davidic dance of freedom

The Jawbone Dance of Samson

Bones, stand up!

Grow muscle, sinew, skin!

Breath of life, come!

Holy One of Israel, come

Yahweh, Ancient of Days, Wonderful

Come, the Spirit and the Bride say come

Your army, your elect, your inheritance

For you, Mighty King

Angels with sharp sickles, come

Oh the harvest, come Lord

Come Lord of the Harvest, come

Send the workers into the field

Come Son of Man

Lord of the Harvest, come

Stephen Pursell, 7/04
