THE SEEDS WE HAVE SOWN

We all sometimes become discouraged,
When our endeavors appear in vain,
We work so hard preaching the Gospel,
And yet so little fruit we seem to gain.

Then that old Satan comes rushing in,
He shouts at us “What is even the use?”
“No one cares about what you’re saying”,
But don’t you dare suffer his vile abuse.

Because while we may never even see it,
The seeds we plant will fulfill God’s Will,
Although some may fall upon the stones,
And yet others wild birds will surely steal.

But some seed will fall upon good ground,
And peradventure it will indeed take root,
With careful watering and some weeding,
The seeds will eventually bear good fruit.

So please don’t become too discouraged,
Simply trust that God will have His way,
Just remain faithful to plant those seeds,
And He’ll indeed reward you one fine day.
