Poetry About Jesus and Salvation 

Why Work For Jesus

Why work for Jesus ?

because the harvest is ready

Just keep on the firing line

Go forward and steady

Why work for Jesus ?

because the laborers are few

There are many souls to be won

and plenty to do

Why work for Jesus?

because it is the great commission

To not labor for souls

is the biggest sin of omission

Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few.

Work For Jesus

Work for Jesus while you still can

soon comes the day when all work will be done

Labor for the Master from morning til night

whether plodding along walking or soaring to run

Work for Him who sent you

into his harvest field

Being ready and equipped

with His armour, sword, and shield

Work and labor for the Savior

with all your strength and might

Stay in the battle

and never give up the fight

Walking in the light of Jesus

while it is still day

Living for eternity

and in Heaven treasures lay

John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work.

 A Good Samaritan

A good Samaritan is a person

who sees the need

and takes the time to help out

with many a kind helpful deed

She doesn’t turn her head the other way

and act like she doesn’t see

but will work all day for the poor and needy

and not even charge a fee

The good Samaritan is willing

to go the extra mile

even to help someone in her family

with a cheerful smile

The good Samaritan’s payday will be

with treasures laid up in heaven

as our heavenly father remembers

all the things to him she has given

Luke 10:32 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him

Publish The Good News

Let's publish the Word of the Lord

both near and far

To tell the world who Jesus is

and who we are

We are children of the most high God

who sent his son to die on the tree

to deliver us from the bondage of sin

and to set us free

Let's publish this wonderful good news

of the gospel and not be ashamed

We've been redeemed by Jesus' shed blood

and our souls have been reclaimed

We are now ambassaders and representatives

for our Great King

Let's shout it from the housetops

and tell the world about Jesus and sing

The harvest is bountiful and plentious

when the way of salvation to sinners we show

Let's not be silent,

but let the redeemed of the Lord say so

God will bring the harvest,

we only have to obey

and leave the results in his hands

after he tells us what to say

Let's tell the good news and glad tidings

to people everywhere

and plead with them to trust Jesus

for their eternity to prepare

God has made a promise

that his word will not return void

So let's keep sowing the gospel seed

and when the harvest comes, we'll be overjoyed

Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

Finish The Work

While working for Jesus

we have to press on til we finish

laboring for our master

and selfish goals relinquish

to look on the harvest fields

that are already ripe

to reap in the lost souls

of every color and stripe

loving souls as we labor

the way that Jesus did

giving out the saving message

not letting the gospel light be hid

We must finish the work

that Jesus gave us to do

to lay up treasures in heaven

and to our calling ever be true

John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

 John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
