Sower of Seed

The sower sows the seed The seeds the word of God A Sower sowed seed Some fell on the pathway and birds came and ate it Some seed fell on rocky soil and started to sprout But withered because they could take no root in the soil The sower sows the seed The seeds the word of God Some of the seed fell in the thistle and thorns As the seeds sprouted, they got choked out Some seed fell in good soil and yielded a harvest Some 30, 60, or even 100-fold The sower sows the seed The seeds the word of God The seed on the path is when someone hears the word But they do not understand and the devil steals what is sown The rocky ground is like someone hearing the word And accepting it but then falling away when faith is tested Because the word has no root in the heart The thistles and thorns are like someone consumed With the concerns of daily living and the allure of riches And the word is choked out The good soil is like someone who hears the word and bears fruit The sower sows the seed The seeds the word of God
