The Farmer Plants the Seeds
Sowing Faith: A Farmer's Song of Hope and Harvest
Lyrics
On a farm
Being on a farm
There's always something to do
Constant tasks and responsibilities
There's fences to mend and
Repairing fences is part of the duties
Crops to plant and harvest and
Activities include planting and harvesting crops
A new season is right around the bend
Anticipation of a new agricultural season
On a farm
Emphasis on the importance of faith on a farm
You've got to have faith
Faith is a crucial element for a farmer
A farmer works the ground
A farmer's commitment until sunset
Until the sun goes down
Working diligently on the land
Works to spread the seed around
Spreading seeds and cultivating
The farmer plants the seeds
Act of sowing seeds
The farmer has the faith
Believing in the success of the planted seeds
That somethings going to sprout
Confidence in the growth of the crops
Going to get water and light
Expectation of water and light for the crops
The farmer wakes before the sun
Early start for a farmer before sunrise
The farmer works the land you know
Continuous effort in working the land
The farmer plants the seeds
Reiteration of the planting process
God makes them grow
Recognition of God's role in growth
On a farm
Referencing the cyclical nature of days on a farm
The sun sets and rises
Acknowledging the unpredictable weather
Sometimes you don't get rain
Concerns about weather-related challenges
Worry about the price of grain
Anxiety over economic aspects like grain prices
And still the work remains
Despite challenges, the work continues
The farmer gets on his knees
Symbolic act of humility and gratitude
The farmer thanks the Lord
Expressing thanks to a higher power for the opportunity to work
For the work he gets to do
Gratitude for the meaningful work provided by the land
On the Land God's provided him to use
Acknowledging the land as a gift from God
