The sower's song lyrics

Oh God, I am furrowed like the field

Torn open like the dirt

And I know that to be healed

That I must be broken first

I am aching for the yield

That You will harvest from this hurt

Abide in me

Let these branches bear You fruit

Abide in me, Lord

As I abide in You

So I kneel

At the bright edge of the garden

At the golden edge of dawn

At the glowing edge of spring

When the winter's edge is gone

And I can see the color green

I can hear the sower's song

Abide in me

Let these branches bear You fruit

Abide in me, Lord

Let Your word take root

Remove in me

The branch that bears no fruit

And move in me, Lord

As I abide in You

As the rain and the snow fall

Down from the sky

And they don't return but they water the earth and bring they forth life

Giving seed to the sower, bread for the hunger

So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder

And it will not return, it will not return void

We shall be led in peace

And go out with joy

And the hills before us

Will raise their voices

And the trees of the field will clap their hands as the land rejoices

And instead of the thorn now

The cypress towers

And instead of the briar the myrtle blooms with a thousand flowers

And it will make a name

Make a name for our God

A sign everlasting that will never be cut off

As the earth brings forth sprouts from the seed

What is sown in the garden grows into a mighty tree

So the Lord plants justice, justice and praise

To rise before the nations till the end of days

As the rain and the snow fall

Down from the sky

And they don't return but they water the earth and they bring forth life

Giving seed to the sower, and bread for the hunger

So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder

And it will not return, it will not return void

It will not return, it will not return void

It will not return, it will not return void

We shall be led in peace

And go out with joy

And the sower leads us

And the sower leads us

And the sower leads us
