**The Harvest Is Past, The Summer Is Ended**
**Lyrics Below** — *The Harvest Is Past, The Summer Is Ended* is a driving 1970s-inspired Southern Rock/Country Rock song built around the urgency of Jeremiah 8:20: “The harvest is past, the summer is ended…” The song looks at a world desperately in need of the truth of Jesus Christ and the call of the Master to labor in His harvest while there is still time. With loud acoustic guitars, driving country-rock rhythms, Southern electric-guitar textures, organ, pedal steel, and strong vocal harmonies, the arrangement draws from the organic American rock sound of the 1970s. The verses speak of the harvest of souls, the lies that hold people captive, and the voice crying in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord. The chorus turns toward complete devotion to God and confidence in the victory found in His name, while the bridge brings the message directly to the Cross—Jesus paying the debt for our sin and calling us to proclaim His name throughout the land.
[Intro]
[clean electric guitar, steady drum beat, bass guitar]
[Verse 1]
[baritone male lead vocal]
Summer is ending, been a long, long time
The harvest is plenty but the workers are few
I can hear the Master calling for me and for you
There's a harvest of souls to rescue
[Chorus]
[vocal ensemble harmonies enter]
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
And there is none upon this earth that I desire beside Thee
Yahweh arise and scatter Your enemies
When we go in Your name we have the victory
[Verse 2]
Open my eyes I see a world full of lies
And only the truth can set them free
I can hear a voice cry in the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
[Chorus]
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
And there is none upon this earth that I desire beside Thee
Yahweh arise and scatter Your enemies
When we go in Your name we have the victory
[Bridge]
I will proclaim Your name throughout this land
For You paid the debt for our sin
My sins were nailed upon the cross when You died
Jesus, the crucified
[Chorus]
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
And there is none upon this earth that I desire beside Thee
Yahweh arise and scatter Your enemies
When we go in Your name we have the victory
[Outro]
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
And there is none upon this earth that I desire beside Thee
And there is none upon this earth that I desire beside Thee
And there is none upon this earth that I desire beside Thee
