The Sower
From my 12-song concept 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?
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
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
When Heaven stoops so low
And The Sower starts to sow
A garden's sure to grow
