Seeds and Tears

This one is dated November 23, 1983:

Precious seed sown in tears
Weeping, praying and anxiously waiting
The seed that is so small you see
Brings forth life sown on bended knee

The sower must be a diligent one
And scatter it far and wide
So much will fall on barren land
When it filters from the sower's hand

Scattered seeds upon the land
The dusty, dry and barren land
But here and there some moistened soil
Where tears were part of the sower's toil

It falls, it dies, it brings forth life
The seed that was sown in tears
Fields are white unto the harvest
The gathering of souls is near

The one who carried a bag of seed
And scattered it throughout the land
Returns again this time rejoicing
Carrying the sheaves within His hand

Psalm 126:5-6
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and wept, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
