I AM A SEED

Snippet

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.  Robert Schuller

Scripture

But someone may ask, “How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have?” 36 What a foolish question! When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn’t grow into a plant unless it dies first. 37 And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting. I Corinthians 15:35-37 NLT

Oh I am a seed

Oh I am a seed

I've been pushed down into the ground

But i will rise up a tree

Oh I can see it won't be long

Till I break free from what I was

Your river of grace flows endlessly

You won't turn your back on me

Oh I am a seed

Oh I am a seed

I've been pushed down into the ground

But i will rise up a tree

I've been burned up in so many fires

From these ashes I will rise

Lord your power has rescued me

For you I'll always sing

Oh I am a seed

Oh I am a seed

I've been pushed down into the ground

But I will rise up a tree

Oh I am a seed

Oh I am a seed

Won't stay long here in this earth

When you rain your love on me

Lord, rain your love on me

Sentence Prayer

A grain of wheat is a solitary grain

Till it falls to the ground and dies

A grain of wheat is a solitary grain.

But dead it bears a mighty harvest.

Praise to Jesus, the resurrection and the life.

All who have faith in Christ,

Through they die, they will come to life;

And no one who is alive in faith will every die.

For the Son of Man was raised up

So that everyone who believes in Jesus

May have eternal life.

Look on Jesus, lifted up,

Lifted high to redeem the world. Amen
