Ripened amber waves of grain
Bread of Life sliced by this pain
Few to reap
Under-shepherdless sheep
Eighteen million students wait
To hear Good News, grow in faith
Plentiful
Lamentable
To follow our Good Shepherd’s lead
Earnest prayer we need
More to reap
But Spirit weeps
Leaders don’t seek more laborers, rather
They wrongfully lay off those who gather
They wrongfully judge another’s call
And do not care for sheep at all
Treating ministry like a business deal
Their lack of Christ-like prayer reveal
He would additional workers send
Instead poor stewards is the trend
Few to reap
Under-shepherdless sheep
