A Tiny Seed

A tiny seed from a sweet tender fruit
Is planted in our hearts and takes root
Prepared with truths as a fertile rich land
Its roots grow deep by an attentive hand
New life appears to the sun it strives
With word of God and with love it survives
Through covenants and prayers which protect from trampling
From the things that destroy a small sapling

Deep in the depths of a heart a seed is planted a new life can start!
If we but do our part

A tender tree should not be neglected
The growing branches must be trained, perfected
And pruned to reach up and to the sunlight
Where it draws upon God’s love for its might
Until buds of growth promise a good harvest
Where fruits of faith are sweet, are best
And prepare for an everlasting new tree!
There is a balance to what we want and need!

Deep in the depths of a heart a seed is planted a new life can start!
If we but do our part

The heart is the perfect place to grow things
It’s closely tied to our sacred feelings
A heart that’s tried will feel broken and torn
Yet, strongest branches can then be reborn
For when the storm comes without delay
What’s lifeless will soon be broken away
We learn how to plant to prepare a new heart
The fruit to the faithful, our Lord will impart

Deep in the depths of a heart a seed is planted a new life can start!
If we but do our part
