Angel of Harvest

ANGEL OF HARVEST

I am the Angel of Harvest, of ripened fields, full grain.

I am the one you've known would come

To bring your long labors to fruition.

When you planted your seeds and cared for them, I was there.

I was there at the birth of your dream of abundance.

I was there in April rain and August sun.

I was there when you waited and prayed,

And wondered how it would all turn out.

I was there in the dark earth, ever patient, filled with trust.

Now, I am your vision of redemption

For I am the Angel who designed your life before time,

Who sustained you with my promise of success.

I am the Friend who will not let you fail,

Who leads you through the Valley of the Shadow,

And lets you rest beside the still waters.

This harvest is your gift

From God.

Look up!  Her fields are golden, full!

This is the coming home of harvest prayers.
