Sower scattering any seed

Wildly without any foresight

God scatters His Word as planned

His aim, truthful in its flight

 

Called to sow His righteous seeds

Following a living light

Sharing of God’s Holy Word

Walking in Jesus’ delight

 

These efforts shall bear His fruit

Quenching the rich, fertile ground

God adds the living water

Patient, His trust to be found

 

Not every seed shall bloom now

Some will lie quiet and wait

Just as a pine cone pauses

Holds seeds for their proper fate

 

Spreading God’s Word to others

Using our freedom for good

Allowing Spirit to work

Sowing for Him as we should

 

Sharing love and forgiveness

Lord’s eternal Word aligned

Taking blessed, scattered seeds

Harvesting fruit of all kinds

 

From Isaiah 55:10-11:  “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
