The Seeds I Sow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll settle in Your stillness, Lord,

For I’ve none of my own.

My world is full of great chaos,

Sprung from the seeds I’ve sown.

 

Too little thought I give some days

To what I do or say.

I speak and just let the seeds fall

To scatter as they may.

 

I try each day to stop myself

From scattering bad seeds,

And every day my best laid plan

Just never quite succeeds.

 

Yet, despite my failure each day

To live as You’ve shown me,

You still offer the compassion

Of your peace and mercy.

 

Tonight, I’ll settle in Your peace,

Tomorrow I will rise

And try once more to plants some seeds

More pleasing to Your eye!

 

Mark 4:8

And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
