Seeds

A tiny seed, a single source Sown in soil’s fertile course Falls and dies and there it lies Till harvest yields to sower’s prize. A single seed, shall yield a’ plenty. God alone knows just how many. Sown in tears, we reap in joy The promises of Mary’s boy. A living seed, a birthing grain Will sprout for generation’s gain. All because one single seed Was planted in a heart of need. A glorious seed: the Bible heard; God’s promised and inspired word Humbles hearts and every nation, And yields beyond imagination! A destined seed, One God planted All in sovereign love’s enchantment Sown in Christians, hear His plea: “Reap a Kingdom, from a seed.” Psalm 126:5-6 “Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.” NASB
