| Oh God, I am furrowed like the field
|
| Torn open like the dirt
|
| And I know that to be healed
|
| That I must be broken first
|
| I am aching for the yield
|
| That You will harvest from this hurt
|
| Abide in me
|
| Let these branches bear You fruit
|
| Abide in me, Lord
|
| As I abide in You
|
| So I kneel
|
| At the bright edge of the garden
|
| At the golden edge of dawn
|
| At the glowing edge of spring
|
| When the winter’s edge is gone
|
| And I can see the color green
|
| I can hear the sower’s song
|
| Abide in me
|
| Let these branches bear You fruit
|
| Abide in me, Lord
|
| Let Your word take root
|
| Remove in me
|
| The branch that bears no fruit
|
| And move in me, Lord
|
| As I abide in You
|
| As the rain and the snow fall
|
| Down from the sky
|
| And they don’t return but they water the earth and bring they forth life
|
| Giving seed to the sower, bread for the hunger
|
| So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder
|
| And it will not return, it will not return void
|
| We shall be led in peace
|
| And go out with joy
|
| And the hills before us
|
| Will raise their voices
|
| And the trees of the field will clap their hands as the land rejoices
|
| And instead of the thorn now
|
| The cypress towers
|
| And instead of the briar the myrtle blooms with a thousand flowers
|
| And it will make a name
|
| Make a name for our God
|
| A sign everlasting that will never be cut off
|
| As the earth brings forth sprouts from the seed
|
| What is sown in the garden grows into a mighty tree
|
| So the Lord plants justice, justice and praise
|
| To rise before the nations till the end of days
|
| As the rain and the snow fall
|
| Down from the sky
|
| And they don’t return but they water the earth and they bring forth life
|
| Giving seed to the sower, and bread for the hunger
|
| So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder
|
| And it will not return, it will not return void
|
| It will not return, it will not return void
|
| It will not return, it will not return void
|
| We shall be led in peace
|
| And go out with joy
|
| And the sower leads us
|
| And the sower leads us
|
| And the sower leads us |
