The Voice Within

Seeds Sown in the dark Of the good news Of thy forgiving heart Lord impress upon their souls Thy promise of eternity That you so loved them That you died to set them free O Holy Spirit break the bonds That anchor them to lies Into their parched hearts Pour water that truly satisfies Redeemed may they stand To give thee glory Renewed may they walk Into thy magnificent story Triumph may they taste Against the enemy Whom you crushed One day on Calvary Amazed may they live Forever worshiping thee Forever in awe that the God of the Universe Would love rebellious man so deeply Seeds Breathe as they rest Waiting to be watered by the Lord of the harvest.                ------- "neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
