Sower of Sacred Seeds

Fertile may the soil

Of my heart always be

So thriving plants grow

For the world to see

For the Sower spreads

Seed of His Word among all

May the seeds take root

Growing strong and tall

May not rocky soil

Lacking in moisture kill

The seed of the Gospel

God’s Promises and Good Will

Nor may piercing thorns

Of life, worries and wealth

Choke the plants of God

Hurting growth and health

But let us tend to the soil

The nature of the heart

So the seeds may flourish

From the very start

We aerate with love

And till it with care

For beautiful are Godly fruit

Beyond any to compare

When we tend to the heart

And nurture that which grows

The spiritual plants will thrive

Whatever direction wind blows

So may the soil of my heart

Fertile and nourishing ever be

Yielding a harvest for God

The Sower, the King of Glory
