about

I connect with the symbolism in the metaphor of the seed – filled with purpose, potential and promise – and what a seed has to do in order to fulfill its potential. This song is a response to the Parable of the Sower.

lyrics

I Would Build a Garden

I would build a garden
deep within this earth,
where fertile soil would anchor,
sustain the seedling’s birth,
made from sacred seeds that you sow,
rooted in new life, which can grow
deep within my heart.
Grant me wisdom to know
the secret of dying in love
just as the seed dies to earth,
releasing its promise fulfilled in new birth.

I would build that garden,
but you the gardener be.
Harvest only goodness
for all the world to see –
made from sacred seeds that you sow,
rooted in new life which can grow
deep within my heart.
Grant me courage to grow,
trusting in your love alone,
dying to live life anew,
tending your garden of love forever, for you!

Blessed are the seeds that you sow,
rooted in new life which can grow
deep within my heart.
Grant me courage to grow,
trusting in your love alone,
dying to live life anew,
tending your garden of love forever, for you!
