gifts like seeds – v3

Lord, we want to give to you
what we can of the gifts
The gifts you share, given to us
like seeds to be shared
to shower the earth, to be sown
gathered in offering, to your work
giving back to you, to your ministry
to be used by your church, your people
in service to you, O God

The seeds are to be scattered
going where we don’t know
tended, watered, fed, nurtured
yet in your time they will grow
the body of Christ, each one with a part
continuing the work, your ministry here
tending the garden, the whole of your earth
waiting for you; waiting to watch it grow
