loudon wainwright iii – the great reaping day lyrics
there is coming a day when to judgement we’ll go,
there to reap as in life we have sown.
death eternal we’ll reap if we sow to the flesh –
heaven’s joy then will never be known.
may we sow righteous seed for the reaping,
which is coming to everyone.
oh what joy on that day when we hear jesus say,
“come ye blessed, a crown you have won.”
every day p-ssing by you are sowing a seed –
fruits of life or of death will bear.
when you reap what you sow, to that land may you go,
to that bright happy home over there.
may we sow righteous seed for the reaping,
which is coming to everyone.
oh what joy on that day when we hear jesus say,
“come ye blessed, a crown you have won.”
if you’d win life eternal, there’s no time to lose –
look around you, the fields are white.
go you forth to the fields, go and reap golden grain –
soon will fall the dark shadows of night.
may we sow righteous seed for the reaping,
which is coming to everyone.
oh what joy on that day when we hear jesus say,
“come ye blessed, a crown you have won.”
every act you perform is a seed to someone,
for the influence will never die.
then be careful each day what you do, what you say,
for you’ll meet it again, by and by.
may we sow righteous seed for the reaping,
which is coming to everyone.
oh what joy on that day when we hear jesus say,
“come ye blessed, a crown you have won.”
