A seed once fell,
on the good ground
and oh how my life . . .
it has turned around.
It slowly sprang up,
began to bear fruit
for it in Jesus . . .
grew up and took root.
A seed was cultivated,
out of a conversation
about how Jesus . . .
was the way to salvation.
It was full of truth,
this I could not refute
and out of a stony heart
it produced an offshoot.
For now I am a sower,
of that good seed too
and I pray dear Jesus
I can lead more to You!
~~~~~~~
And other fell on good ground,
and sprang up, and bare fruit
an hundredfold. And when he
had said these things,
he cried, He that hath ears
to hear, let him hear.
