A sacred song for children with text by Krista Mason Pace below.
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.
Come gather
close to reach His outstretched hand.
