Send Forth The Labourers

1,691 views Jul 8, 2026 updated Verified editorial review

Pennell's song 'Send Forth Laborers' is a prayerful cry for God to send workers into the harvest. Drawing from Jesus' compassion for the helpless crowds, the lyrics echo the biblical call in Matthew 9:37-38, where the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. The song emphasizes partnership with God in mission, asking how people can hear the gospel if no one tells them. It's a simple, repetitive plea for laborers to be raised up and sent out to reach those searching for purpose.

Intro

We partner with You, Father

We cry now together

Send forth the laborers

Oh, send forth the laborers

Verse 1

Helpless

Like sheep without a shepherd

Questioning life's existence

Searching for life's purpose

Before chorus

But when Jesus saw them

He was moved with compassion

He's in the heart of mercy

Said, "They must know Me"

Chorus

We sing, oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

How can it all be saved

If they have not yet h?ard?

And how will they all hear

If they hav? not been told?

Before chorus

So what do You say, God?

And will we do?

For the harvest is ready

But the workers are few

Chorus

We sing, oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Bridge

We partner with You, Father

We cry now together

Send forth the laborers

Oh, send forth the laborers

We partner with You, Father

We cry now together

Send forth the laborers

Oh, send forth the laborers

We partner with You, Father

We cry now together

Send forth the laborers

Oh, send forth the laborers

We partner with You, Father

We cry now together

Send forth the laborers

Oh, send forth the laborers
