olive tree.



The Olive Tree

There's a call that comes to you and me
Strong and clear, to share his truth and light
It's our time to serve and bring new life
To a waiting world, waiting world in need

Each new day, we'll nourish with His words
Those who seek direction from above
With our hands, we'll share the Master's touch
With our hearts we'll spread His endless love

Until He comes and His work is done
We'll labor and we'll reap
What joy we'll find this last time
As we serve the King of Kings

Heaven's eyes smile down as we declare
Words of peace so precious and rare
As we reap with tenderness and care
Truth and hope bless nations everywhere

That's still one of my favorite songs. It reminds me of HS days in TX. Miss you.

Beautiful.

I am jealous of your wonderful collection of church music. Luckily, you leave me treasures each week that I can download and add to my collection. Thanks for the uplifting message.
