Come and join Me in the long night’s toil
The Spirit will provide the midnight oil 
Awake and open wide, your heart’s closed door 
“The harvest is ready, please help Me,” I implore

My head is drenched with the dew of the long night
The work will be hard, but My yoke is light
Your spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak
The earth belongs to the humble and the meek

My oil is precious, it will cost you all
It’s provided for those who answer My call
If you hear My voice, sweet fellowship we’ll share
As we burn the midnight oil in the cool night’s air

Song of Solomon 5:2-6 – “I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking:
‘Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.’ 

3 I have taken off my robe—must I put it on again? I have washed my feet—must I soil them again? 

4 My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him. 5 I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the bolt. 6 I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure.  I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer.”

Revelation 3:19-20 – “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”

Matthew 25:1-13

Each one I have made is beautiful to Me
No two are alike is My plan specifically
Value is determined by how rare an item is
Beauty’s definition can’t be found out by a quiz

The eye of the beholder registers delight
When the object of affection comes into his sight
That is how I see each person I have lovingly made
Because you bear My image, your value is displayed

Like a priceless item each one is a masterpiece
When a coin is lost, its value does not decrease
See each other with My eyes to find the worth there
Each person is so different. Why would you compare?

Luke 15:8-10 – “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Ecclesiastes 3:10-11 – “I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Psalm 139:1-18

The message of the cross is foolishness to those 
Who rely on their works but My ways they oppose 
The path of suffering is the way I took 
You must follow Me with a similar outlook 

The flesh dies hard as it demands its own way 
Would you choose ease, but in the end be cast away? 
Purifying fires release impurities and dross
Sacrificial love is the message of the cross

There is a prize for those who daily die for Me
A crown and a position for all eternity
Victory awaits, is the message of the cross
Resurrection power is for all who suffer loss

Philippians 3:7-11 – “But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 – “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”

Philippians 3:7-21

Look deep into My eyes to see My love for you there 
I am always close, but you are not usually aware 
My heart yearns for you to stop and speak with Me
I have much to share with you about your destiny 

There are many ways to go, but only one I have planned 
If you will inquire of Me, you will understand 
I am always speaking you must learn the ways to hear
As you stop to look for Me My voice becomes more clear 

I walk beside you every day, but you are not aware 
As you think about My Word, you will find Me there
I also speak through others, even when they do not know 
Hear Me when I whisper as the wind begins to blow 

I am the still small thought that speaks inside of you 
You must quiet your mind so My Words come into view 
You will always find Me when you search with all your heart
Mysteries of your future, I will readily impart

Deuteronomy 11:13-32

Don’t waste the time I’ve given you today 
The minutes fly by on a path one-way 
Never to be captured and used again 
Their presence only noted by thoughts or a pen 

Time is the gift that all men alike share 
Tomorrow is not guaranteed so you must beware 
You will give account of how it was used 
At My throne you’ll be rewarded or accused 

I’ve made everything beautiful in its time 
Like a poem, decorated with fancy rhyme 
There is a rhythm to all that I do 
It follows My heartbeat I’ve placed inside you

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 – “There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7     a time to tear and a time to mend,

Ecclesiastes 3:1-17 

Evil exists in ways you know not of 
It is the absence of holiness and of love 
Before time began, it was always there 
Freedom of choice comes with a cost, so beware 

Love commanded, is not love at all 
Obedience proves you have answered the call 
You must seek Me with all your heart 
That kind of faith will set you apart

In the midst of a world, so dark and cold
Your love, and your faith I treasure as fine gold
When you obey Me because of your love
You’ll be trusted with My power I send from above

In the dark days coming upon the earth
My glory will shine on you proving your worth
Darkness will flee in the light of My glory
As My Presence invades earth’s territory

You will be known as children of the day
You’ll reflect My glory in full display
Nations will come to the rising of your dawn
By My Spirit, many will be drawn

John 14:23-24 – “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.’”

John 14:15-24
Isaiah 60, 61

It takes much preparation to get a plane to fly 
The pilots have a checklist on which they must rely 
If they are not careful and skip some things to do 
The flight could turn disastrous for passengers and crew 

I’ve given you instructions in the Book of God 
On them you must rely as you walk along earth’s sod
If you pick and choose the instructions I have given 
It could prove disastrous if you’re not forgiven 

I’ve made you all connected as you traverse this life
If you believe My Word, it will keep you from much strife 
Go back to the manual when you’ve made a wrong turn 
Your life could prove disastrous if you do not return 

Trust in Me with all your heart so you will understand 
My Words are not suggestions, they are a firm command
Blessed is the man who delights in what I say 
They are not in darkness, but known as children of the day

Proverbs 2:1-6 – “My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, 2 so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; 3 yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.”

Proverbs 2, 3

There will come a time at My judgment seat 
When the secrets of men’s hearts are laid bare 
With a terrible fear men’s hearts will beat
They’ll see the total of their sins in despair

They had rejected My love and My grace
On the earth in defiance and pride
They’ll be consigned to a horrible place
Where the fire never dies, they’ll reside

It’s not too late to change your destiny
Daily, read My Word and inquire
I came to die for lost humanity
So that you could escape hell’s death-fire

John 3:16-21
2 Corinthians 4
Revelation 20:11-15

When I get too busy, I miss meeting with You 
So many times, I’ve shortened my morning rendezvous 
Other things seemed more important to my worldly eyes 
They did not perfect me, or make me holy and wise 

So many things to do-but there is a choice to make 
Eternity will prove true the road I choose to take 
If I decide to sow my seed into the realm of earth 
The harvest I receive will not have eternal worth 

I want everything I do to show forth Your glory
All my earthly deeds will then be my offertory
Let them rise, like smoke, to give you praise and pleasure
Then the motives of my heart will be my greatest treasure

Matthew 6:1-24
Luke 8:4-15

If you have come to the end of your rope 
There is something I want you to know 
Don’t believe that there is no hope 
Coming from heaven to you below 

I speak in ways that are hidden to man 
But if you search with all of your heart 
You will hear My voice detailing a plan 
That My wisdom and grace, hope to impart 

I know the end from the beginning 
And the way each one chooses to go 
Have faith in Me and let your heart sing 
So your destiny and purpose, you’ll know 

You must choose to believe in Me
And know I have an eternal plan 
Shedding My blood for lost humanity
I came to die for every woman and man

So, by faith move forward in My victory-
That is My will and purpose for you
Eternity will record your story
You overcame everything You went through
