Your Labor Is Not in Vain

From their 2017 "Work Songs" album.

Your labor is not in vain
Though the ground underneath you is cursed & stained
Your planting & reaping are never the same
But your labor is not in vain

(up 2) C G C - / F C Am G / C Dm C F / Am G C -

Your labor is not unknown
Though the rocks they cry out & the sea it may groan
The place of your toil may not seem like a home
But your labor is not unknown

I am with you, I am with you (2x)
For I have called you, called you by name
Your labor is not in vain

FC C GAm Am /  / F - G - / F G C -

The vineyards you plant will bear fruit
The fields will sing out & rejoice with the truth
For all that is old will at last be made new
The vineyards you plant will bear fruit

The houses you labored to build
Will finally with laughter & joy be filled
The serpent that hurts & destroys shall be killed
And all that is broken be healed

- lyrics & music by Wendell Kimbrough, Paul Zach & Isaac Wardell
