Luke 6: 1 – 5
As the Lord’s disciples
Walked the wheat field
Crushing the grain
To feed their hunger
As the farmer in Kansas
Tasted his sorghum
Crushing the grain
And savoring sweetness
So the Lord will crush the harvest grain
Lord of the Sabbath
Man of our sorrows
Before He tastes the world’s ripeness
Harvest of spirits, harvest of souls
Sweetness of love
Or bitter with sorrows
Or bitter with madness
