The Field Until the End

[Verse 1] The wheat and poison slowly rose Beneath the same unchanging sun The servants asked to tear it out But heaven said, “The time has not” [Chorus] The harvest comes when hearts are shown When every hidden root has grown Like Noah building under blue While blind men mocked what judgment knew Like Lot pulled from the burning plain Like Egypt drowned beneath the rain The angels wait with fire and grain To separate the true from vain [Verse 2] The blood was marked on fragile doors While death moved silent through the night One house would wake to grieving cries Another lived beneath the sign [Chorus] The harvest comes when hearts are shown When every hidden root has grown Like Noah building under blue While blind men mocked what judgment knew Like Lot pulled from the burning plain Like Egypt drowned beneath the rain The angels wait with fire and grain To separate the true from vain [Verse 3] Ten virgins waited through the dark All carried lamps against the night But oil unseen became the line When suddenly the Bridegroom cried [Bridge] The field looks whole to human eyes Until the sickle splits disguise [Final Chorus] The net was filled with every kind Until the shore revealed the lines The shepherd calls the flock apart And reads the weight inside the heart Some enter like the gathered wheat Some fade like ashes in the heat And all the earth at last will see What every soul desired to be © Sergio Eduardo Maurer
