Teaching His children, Jesus spoke softly,

Gathering all of His followers there.

He taught the kingdom of God on this earth

Was as man sewing good seeds in fields with great care.

Then, while sleeping at night, an enemy came

And sowed the tares among the wheat in shame.

Soon when the wheat grew, showing great promise,

Tares also covered the space all around.

Knowing the young roots were tender and new,

Then the man, in great wisdom, approached his good ground.

“Let them both grow together. Harvest time waits.

The tares and wheat then gathered to their fates.”

Now is the harvest. Gather together

All the elect  from the quarters of earth.

Those who will call on the Savior in faith,

And in places of holiness stand with true worth.

For the angels are waiting for their command.
