Sabbath Psalm The Sower (from my upcoming album ‘Kingdom Rising’)
The Sower knelt down on His knees
Dug through the earth with calloused hands to till the soil
In sin-cursed ground He sowed the seed
The sweat of Adam intermixing with the toil
Oh how the parable reads like a riddle!
How can we fathom all it means?
Of Heaven reaching through a thought so little!
A Kingdom in so poor a thing
But this one thing I know
That when Heaven stoops so low
And the Sower starts to sow
A garden’s sure to grow
The Sower rose up to His feet
Looked down at all He’d wrought and saw that it was good
Redemption’s genesis complete
A kingdom manifest, yet so misunderstood
But this one thing I know
That when Heaven stoops so low
And the Sower starts to sow
A garden’s sure to grow
