Send the Workers
The harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few. A kinetic missions song calling workers out into the field — go and tell, plant and water, the Lord makes it grow.

Send the Workers — Lyrics
Verse 1
Lord, the field is wide, Ripe and ready now. We lift up our eyes — Teach our hearts your how. Some have sown before, Seed in dusty rows. Now we watch it grow, Where your kindness goes.
Pre-Chorus
Send us out, send us near, Make us brave, make us clear. Here on earth, we go and tell — Praise to You, Immanuel.
Chorus
Send the workers, send the workers, Send the workers now, Oh, send them now! Harvest time is here to shout — Send the workers, send the workers out.
Verse 2
In your home above, No one turns and runs. No one needs to knock, No lost ones left to come. So we work today, Till the sun goes low. One plants, one waters — You make it grow.
Bridge
You see the field, you know the row, You know who sows, you know who’ll go. Use our hands, use our feet, Use our songs, use our beat, Till the hearts that wait hear your call — Lord of harvest, send us all.
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”
Little lesson for little hearts
Many, many people in the world have not yet heard about Jesus. He calls the harvest 'plenteous' but the workers 'few.' We pray that the Lord of the harvest will send more workers — and we get to be little workers too, telling the people we know how kind Jesus is.
