The Father’s Seed (1999)
Joe Halter/M. Papierski
Matthew
13 talks about God’s Word being seed. It is ultimately our responsibility and
our choice to care for our spiritual development so that we may bear fruit for
God. The fruit we bear depends upon whether we choose to receive God’s Word and
what we choose to do with it once we have received.

Listen and I will tell you,
A parable from God.
You see He’s got some seed,
To grow His crop.
He’s sows His seed,
All over this world,
But He’s left it up to us,
We’’ve gotta choose our own soil.
Yeah, yeah, (we’ve) gotta choose our own soil.
Seed on the path,
Was eaten by the birds.
Just as Satan will do,
If you’re hardened to God’s Word.
Eternal life is borne by seed,
You plant within your soul.
But seed deprived of good soil,
Will never flourish, never grow.
No, no, never flourish, never grow.
Chorus
Plant God’s seed,
Seek the truth,
Grow in faith,
And bear good fruit.
Heed The Father,
And you will see,
How His Word,
Will set you free.
The Father’s seed,
Will set you free.
Seed on the rocks,
Sprouted, and it grew,
But was scorched by life’s troubles,
‘Cause it had no roots.
Gotta read it. Gotta breathe it.
Gotta live it every day.
Roots will grow and will take hold,
As you meditate and pray.
Yeah, Yeah, as you meditate and pray.
Seed in the thorns,
Grew tall but was choked,
By worries and wealth,
And worldly goals.
So, once you’ve got God’s Word,
Don’t let down your guard,
‘Cause life’s a winding road,
It is long and it is hard.
Yeah, yeah, it is long and it is hard.
Chorus
Instrumental
The seed is Our Father’s Word,
He has authored, and He’s sown.
The harvest of your heart,
Rests in the soil that seed is grown.
The moral of this story,
It is plain and it is true.
Plant God’s seed in good soil,
And bear a multitude of fruit.
Yeah, Yeah, bear a multitude of fruit.
Plant God’s seed,
Seek the truth,
Grow in faith,
And bear good fruit
Heed The Father,
And you will see,
How His Word,
Will set you free.
The Father’s seed,
Will set you free.
Plant God’s seed,
Seek the truth,
Grow in faith,
And bear good fruit
(Repeat)
