I am the Sower – v3

given words, the Spirit
seeds of the kingdom
to nurture, to share
wisdom of scripture;
praying to be a vessel
an empty bowl of clay
seed given to me;
I am the Sower, to share

the words I have been gifted
to be shared, to be scattered
to be spread on the wind
not merely planted
in neat, ordered rows
to be scattered richly
to where I do not know

seed given to me;
I am the Sower, to share;
only to be faithful
the words to do the work
the treasure in the seeds
our hope, God’s promise
sowing the seeds, richly,
God to provide the growth
