Straight To To the Top

Lets raise our hands and all rejoice Allow the world to hear our voice This time of year the work never ends We join together and help our friends That’s how the Lord would have it be I offer help to you, you offer help me We are working together hand in hand Because our harvest shall feed the land Praise the Lord I want it to show Jesus is the harvester of my soul Jesus is now who harvest my crop From the bottom straight to the top Written for Brian's contest. Being from a farming County the Harvest is very dear to me. Last year I missed it due to my back, this year I'm in school. I think I'll go out on the weekend and work a few hours for free just so I can remain a part of something that I love so much. Nothing like the smell of the harvest in the morning, waiting on the dew to dry so you can roll up in the Rice. God I do miss the long days of honest work but the Lord is Harvesting my life in a new direction.
