Plant Me In Good Soil

There was some issues in my life and the parable of the sower came to mind. I had much doubt in my life, God gave me the words to write to remind me of his love, and know I am not alone.

Here I am Lord, a seed whisked away in the wind.

Lost, blowing wildly throughout the world.

Lord, plant me in good soil.

Let my roots grow deep so the wind of doubt and unbelief

Will not pick me up and I lose my way again.

Here I am Lord, plant me in good soil.

 

Here I am Lord, a seed floating about on the waters.

Many great waves pushing me back and forth trying to drown me.

Lord, plant me in good soil.

Let my roots grow deep so the flood of vengeance and resentment

Won’t drown me, and I lose my way again.

Here I am Lord, plant me in good soil.

 

Here I am Lord, a seed left out in the hot sun barely covered by the soil.

It slowly burns me with much hatred and anger.

Lord, plant me in good soil.

Let my roots grow deep so I won’t burn with hate and anger

And I lose my way again.

Here I am Lord, plant me in good soil.

 

Here I am Lord, a seed stuck in a crevice.

The ground is dry, cracked, starving and thirsty within.

Lord, plant me in good soil.

Let my roots grow deep so I will know the truth of you

And your word, and I won’t lose my way again.

Here I am Lord, plant me in good soil.
