The Seeds of the Kingdom Songtext
von Wendell Kimbrough

Jesus scatters the seeds of His Kingdom
Far and wide, He announces new birth
I, the Lord of Creation, am making new
Every inch of the groaning earth!

Like the smallest of seeds in the winter
Is the Kingdom of God as its sown
But the powers of hell shall against it fail
When the Kingdom of God is grown

Though we wait for the Lord of the harvest
And we long for our King to appear
Even now in our hearts, by the Spirit′s pow'r
The Kingdom of God is near!


He has planted the seeds of His Kingdom
In the hearts of the poor and the weak
He declares to the captives, I bring good news
You shall be mighty oaks of strength!

Though we wait for the Lord of the harvest
And we long for our King to appear
Even now in our hearts, by the Spirit′s pow'r
The Kingdom of God is near!

Through the city of God flows a river
From the throne of the Lamb waters pour
And behold, on the banks grows the Tree of Life
Where the nations are healed and restored!

Though we wait for the Lord of the harvest
And we long for our King to appear
Even now in our hearts, by the Spirit's pow′r
The Kingdom of God is near!
