Finish the Work
Dear friends, the task that the Lord has
given to us let us see it through.
Don't get disgruntled
that will bring nothing to you.

Our Lord and Savior finished the work
that His Father gave to Him.
Jesus gave His life for everyone of us -
He atoned for every sin.

Our tasks, our labor here on Earth
will only last a short while - Jesus told us so.
Take heart, dear friends, and remember
our Lord is wherever we go.

When we are finished with our work.
our Lord will call us home.
We will have new bodies that will never be
sick and in God's Spirit we will have grown.
