(Based on Matt. 13:3-7, 18-29)
A sower planted the gospel seed,
In the minds of several men.
When his work was done, he waited,
To see what would happen then.
The seed in the mind of the first man,
Was eaten by a bird.
The buzzard’s name was Satan,
And the seed he ate was God’s Word.
The seed in the mind of the second man,
Sprouted, but soon was dead.
No wonder the gospel seed withered;
For the man had rocks in his head.
The seed in the mind of the third man,
Also began to sprout,
But troubles and trials came on him,
And the seed was choked by doubt.
On that day when the reaper comes,
Will fruit be on my vine?
Or will I be treated like chaff?
Which harvest will be mine?
