I live in the remotest part of the world.
I've never heard of the man you call "Saviour and Lord"
Jesus said, "The harvest is ready, but who will do the labor?"
I ask you to help, for I am your neighbor.

My daddy was inside when the twin towers fell
When he died, did he go to heaven or hell?
Jesus said, "The harvest is ready, but who will do the labor?"
I ask you to help, for I am your neighbor.

I saw you yesterday when you went to school
I was hanging out with the kids who are "cool"
Jesus said, "The harvest is ready, but who will do the labor?"
I ask you to help, for I am your neighbor.

I live just next door to you, yet we've never spoken
You don't know about my heart that was recently broken
Jesus said, "The harvest is ready, but who will do the labor?"
I ask you to help, for I am your neighbor.

Jesus looked on Jerusalem, His heart filled with compassion
He knew they were religious, after their own fashion
Jesus said, "The harvest is ready, but who will do the labor?"
He asked you to help, for they are your neighbors.

The people from hither to yon, need to know the wages of sin.
It's our commission to tell them of Christ's sacrifice for them.
Jesus said, "The harvest is ready, but who will do the labor?"
I ask you to help, for I am your neighbor.
