20th October

I look for my love and what do I see
I see an empty life
For love has flown to another
Where heav’n rules has gone my wife  
And I am content

I look for my love and what do I see
I see from sickness freed
To gain no pain a step so short
Yet none can wander for need
God’s call must first end

I look for my love and what do I see
I see a hand shall ask
What toil for goodness must do
Kingly purpose is my task
That race gains my r’ward

I look for my love and what do I see
I see a heart now full
With greater love and greater need
Shall work ’till harvest pulled
From fields so rich n’ripe

I look for my love and what do I see
I see the Lord Most High
With e’er a smile and joy within
With Him to walk then time does fly
Heav’ns gates wide open

John 4:35 ‘You know the saying, ‘Four
months between planting and harvest.’
But I say, wake up and look around.
The fields are already ripe for harvest.’ (NLT)
