Reflection on Psalm 126

It's harvest time!
We sowed with tears,
now we reap with joy.
How can this be?


I had a dream.
I toiled in exile,
a foreign king enslaved my people.
I longed for home
and wept for soul-sadness.

Then you came
with an army of workers.
You Lord built a highway
a highway through the desert
to a land of rich soil and gentle rain.

Now it's harvest time
and I'm home
I'm home with you my Lord.

I look around me
Souls in captivity
lost in exile
It's the time of nativity
time to reconcile
Lost in activity
running, running, running.

It's harvest time
Everyone will reap what they sow-
wheat, barley, cotton
sin, faith, love.
