The equal pay we receive
whether new or old
working for years in the fields, the vineyard
to the ends of the earth
or new on the scene
just stepping foot in the fields
beginning our service
all the same
each of us with unearned wages
paid by Christ alone
forgiving us of our sins
paying our way
our sins washed away
giving addition
the wages of grace
that we may enter in

Matthew 20:1-16
sermon, "Grumbling about Grace"
by Rev. Frank Gulinello
“Jesus’ parable of the laborers in the vineyard is about
a gracious God whose grace is extraordinarily and
excessively extravagant. Sometimes the
amazing grace of God causes us to grumble because
it seems to be unjust and not fair in our view of the way life should be.”
