Harvester’s Call
← Back to AlbumAbout This Song
“Harvester’s Call” concludes the album with focus shifting outwards. With a blend of prayer and plea, it expresses longing for salvation of lost souls and acknowledges our role as laborers in God’s spiritual harvest. The lyrics emphasize God’s love for all and His desire to equip us to share this life-changing message. Ultimately, it’s a call to action, inviting surrender not just for our inner world, but for active participation in His Kingdom work.
Emotional Heart:
This track balances urgency and empowerment. There’s a clear passion for those not yet touched by God’s salvation, perhaps stemming from the recognition of joy found in our own relationship with Him. There’s no judgment, but a burning desire for others to experience that same life-giving love. Alongside this, there’s an empowering undercurrent, a faith that God not only saves, but shapes us into effective vessels for sharing His message.

Worship Devotion
Scripture Foundation:
- Matthew 9:37-38: “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
- John 4:35: “Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.”
- Romans 10:14-15: “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Deep Dive:
The “harvest” isn’t just the culmination of growth; it’s a time of urgency. Jesus saw lost souls ripe and ready, but lamented the lack of workers. Salvation isn’t something God withholds, but requires His followers to actively proclaim. Romans outlines the chain: one can’t believe without hearing, hearing requires a messenger, and messengers are God-appointed. Participating in this Great Commission involves both prayerful petition AND obedience to be His laborers.
Relevance to the Song:
“Harvester’s Call” closes the album with this outward focus. It begins with heartfelt prayer for lost souls, acknowledging our role as messengers, not just spectators. There’s a sense of urgency – that salvation isn’t solely an afterlife concern, but a present imperative. Notably, it urges self-examination: am I equipped, my own relationship with God strong enough to overflow on others?
Application for the Listener:
- Sharing faith can be daunting. Is this fear, or true humility recognizing your need for Christ’s equipping?
- Think beyond grand evangelism. Is there one person God places on your heart to offer spiritual support?
- Are areas of your life hindering a bold testimony? Ask God to address them for His Kingdom purposes.
Closing Prayer:
Lord of the Harvest, break my heart with what breaks Yours – the souls still adrift in darkness. Forgive my complacency, and ignite within me a burning passion to participate in Your work. Prepare me. Show me how to speak Your truth in love, how to walk with others towards life-changing understanding of Your grace. May every aspect of my life draw others closer to the Savior I have found. Amen.

Song Lyrics
Harvester’s Call
Verse 1
Open hearts and seeking eyes, longing to behold,
The beauty of Your sacrifice, the grace that makes us bold.
Break down walls of hardened wills, soften doubt and fear,
May Your Spirit draw them close, Your saving voice so clear.
Chorus
Harvester of souls, gather the lost ones home,
Your love compels us, we will not rest alone.
Use our hands, our feet, our words, reflections of Your might,
Shine Your light through broken vessels, guide them into the light.
Verse 2
For those weary from the fight, burdened by their shame,
Let healing floods come crashing through the power of Your name.
Release them from the chains of sin, their shattered spirits mend,
Fill them with Your joy unspeakable, a hope that knows no end.
Chorus
Harvester of souls, gather the lost ones home,
Your love compels us, we will not rest alone.
Use our hands, our feet, our words, reflections of Your might,
Shine Your light through broken vessels, guide them into the light.
Bridge
Stir within us holy passion, Your vision to impart,
Let our lives proclaim the gospel, with love in every heart.
Equip us for the task at hand, Your wisdom we implore,
May Your mighty harvest fill the earth from shore to shore.
Outro
Gather the lost ones home… guide them into the light.
Pray for hearts to be stirred with compassion for the lost and for the boldness to share the Gospel through words and action. May the Lord of the Harvest anoint your hands, words, and witness to bring many into His glorious Kingdom. May you shine brightly in every field He places you.Spiritual Engagement
