Fruitful Fields 

(1,2,3,4!)

CHORUS:

Father send us to the fruitful fields

Father send us to the fruitful fields

Let the captive ones believe

and we shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves  

(2x)

 

VERSE 1

Though the fields look dead and brown

Thorns are thick and choke the ground

Though it’s hard now to believe

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves

Though the way is rough and steep 

Still we have a charge to keep

We’ll win the war down on our knees

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves 

CHORUS (1x)

 

 

VERSE 2

In His strength we plow hard ground

So the lost ones can be found

God’s great word we sow like seed

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves

We reap with joy but sow in tears

Soak the troubled earth down here

Blessed are the ones who grieve

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves

 

CHORUS (1x)

 

 

 

VERSE 3

When the skies seem hard as brass

Spring has come, and summer’s past

Still no fruit, but still believe

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves

Jesus says the fields are white 

Let our faith be turned to sight

Let us see what Jesus sees

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves

CHORUS (1x)

 

VERSE 4

If we see like days of old

Revival winds begin to blow 

Souls dance up like autumn leaves

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves

But if we die before we see

Others shall be sent to reap

God’s reward we’ll all receive

We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves

CHORUS (2x)
