Spiritual Service

Church works will not be in vain, 
Unlike what others believe; 
They say these deeds give no gain, 
The profit they won't receive.

Serving God is not without
Sacrifices and hardship; 
The unbelievers do doubt, 
Avoiding the true worship.

But each Church Of Christ member
Makes sure he obeys God's will; 
Despite the rugged weather, 
Yes, in spite of having ill.

Like a farmer in the field, 
We work with so much fervor; 
Feeling the pain that's revealed, 
Like a woman in labor.

These will not be put to waste, 
As guaranteed by the Lord; 
Sufferings shall be erased, 
Our ardor won't be ignored.

On the great day of harvest, 
We'll be glad to see the fruit; 
Like a mother who gets rest, 
Holding her newborn so cute.
