A net for the harvest

Let me sow the bait fish
simple food for the young
those not ready
for the meat of your love

Sow me as a seeds
into furrowed ground
hearts ready for the word
let me be sown

Cast me as a net, a message,
onto the troubled waters
let me be sent out, to gather in
a harvest for the Lord

Let me be your servant
your vessel, to be filled
let me be emptied
let me be full

Let me be your message
given to the world
let me shine your light
bearing your holy word
