Full Measure of Food


Joel 2:21-27
 

Have no fear and be glad with delight,
For the Lord has actually done alright;
Fear not to the farmer for in the field,
Such a good harvest you should yield.

Grasslands for the beasts getting green,
As the blossoming trees have been seen;
For the trees and vines, have deep roots,
To strengthen, producing healthy fruits.

So be glad with being children of God,
Have joy in the Lord to honor and laud;
For the rain comes down in the spring,
A bumper harvest in the fall for to bring.

The barn will be overflowing with grain.
For God will bless us with summer rain;
Returning to God at the time for to reap,
Offering of His portion for God to keep.

Though insects and worms might tread,
I remember exactly what God has said;
That I shall have food in a full measure,
Praise the Lord for nourishing pleasure.
