one man waters and another man sows
but the increase comes from God alone
unless a seed dies it cannot grow
and by fire will it's works be shown
create in me that good soil
produce a crop a hundred fold
O to be your harvest
as good as damned is a tree that bares no fruit
unfaithful is the bride that strays
as subtle as a fox the vine is ruined
thanks be to Christ who overcame
create in me that good soil
produce a crop a hundred fold
O to be your harvest
God will frustrate the wisest of men
from the same stone give life or death
the tree that bore the greatest curse
was the one that raised me from my hearse
create in me that good soil
produce a crop a hundred fold
O to be your harvest
