Sow And Reap

orchidee



Tune: Dundee

('God moves in a mysterious way')

Hosea 10 v.12

********

Sow to yourselves in righteousness

The Lord will then you bless

Reap in mercy, lovingkindness

And show too faithfulness

 

Break up your fallow ground, it be

Untilled, untended, see

For it is time to seek the Lord

He e'er the living Word

 

Seek Him until He come to you

And then will you renew

He will on you rain righteousness

You His good name confess

 

And so will you for His glory

Produce then fruitfully

The land of your hearts, lives, prosper

No curse it shall incur

                I suppose we gotta reap what is sown naturally, or else what is the point of the wheat (or whatever we sow) being sown at all?! It would just die off and be wasted. Ooh I'll get me sewing kit out!
