Till and plow our plots, O Savior
’til Your plans they follow
Thresh our pride and selfishness
Refresh our hearts lain fallow

Sow, O God, your Gospel seeds
That grow Your Spirit’s fruit
Pick the devil’s rocks and weeds
That won’t let grace take root

Fertilize our souls, O King
Yield bumper crops of serving
Spray the bugs of doubt that cling
So gnawing and unnerving

Irrigate what’s dry and bored
Spade the roots of sadness
Cultivate our wills, O Lord
To bear the cross with gladness

God…

Please sow…

So we’ll reap…

From both earthly…

And heavenly lands…

The hundred-fold harvest…

Of Your fresh, inspired and Spirit-ripened fruit!
