Your Labor Is Not In Vain

     D        A/C#   D/A
Your labor is not in vain
           G           D            Bm         A
though the ground underneath you is cursed and stained
     D            Em          D/F# F#m7    G
Your planting and reaping are ne - ver the same
                  A      D
But your labor is not in vain.


[Refrain]

    Bm F#m7 G    D         A    Bm
For I  am   with you, I am with you.
     G    D         Bm   A
I am with you, I am with you
           G
For I have called you,
              A
called you by name
     G        A      D
Your labor is not in vain.


[Verse 2]

     D        A/C#   D/A
Your labor is not unknown
           G              D/F#        Bm         A
though the rocks they cry out and the sea it may groan.
    D             Em           D/F# F#m7   G
The place of your toil may not seem like a home
                  A      D
but your labor is not unknown. (refrain)


[Verse 3]

    D             A/C#           D/A
The vineyards you plant will bear fruit
    G                D/F#      Bm             A
the fields will sing out and rejoice with the truth,
    D           Em          D/F#   F#m7  G
for all that is old will at last be made new:
                  A               D
the vineyards you plant will bear fruit. (refrain)


[Verse 4]

    D          A/C#       D/A
The houses you labored to build
     G            D/F#         Bm     A
will finally with laughter and joy be filled.
    D            Em           D/F#    F#m7   G
The serpent that hurts and destroys shall be killed
                A         D
and all that is broken be healed. (refrain)
