The Sower

INTRO

Now the parable is this

The seed is the word of God woo uh oh yeah

The sower is the preacher and the teacher

He sows the word of God in your life everyday

INTERLUDE

When you come into the house of God

Get ready to receive the word of God oh uh oh uh yeah

Open your heart and take it all in

Decide to be a fertile ground receiving the word

That’s the only way you will be truly blessed

CHORUS

I don’t wanna be a wayside ground

I don’t wanna be a thorny ground

I don’t wanna be a stony ground

Lord make me a good ground, a very good ground. (×2)

I don’t wanna be a wayside ground

I don’t wanna be a thorny ground

I don’t wanna be a stony ground

Lord make me a good ground, a very good ground

INTERLUDE

One day I sat by a girl who had a bad attitude

Nothing that the preacher said touched her heart that day

On her phone throughout the preaching of the word

Chatting with her friends instead of listening to the word

She didn’t understand a single thing that day

Then I knew the seed had fallen on the way side

I don’t wanna be a wayside ground

INTERLUDE

I sat at the back of church one Sunday morning

By a man who had a stony heart yeah

He was not interested with the word of God

He would not smile, he would not laugh

He would not even say amen

He showed no sign of being moved by the word

Then I knew I was sitting by a stony ground

I don’t wanna be a wayside ground

I don’t wanna be a thorny ground

I don’t wanna be a stony ground

Lord make me a good ground, a very good ground (×2)

I don’t wanna be a wayside ground

INTERLUDE

One day I sat behind three young men in the church

They had something to say about everything

They said preacher was not anointed

They said he didn’t know the word

His message did not make sense

They criticized him throughout his sermon

Then I knew the seed had fallen among the thorns

INTERLUDE

I don’t wanna be a wayside ground

INTERLUDE

Jesus is the sower of the seed

Jesus comes to you each and every day

What kind of heart do you have to receive the word of God

Is your heart a stony ground, a thorny ground or a way side ground

I know you will be a good ground

And bring forth fruit a hundred fold
