Lyrics
Verse 1
I heard Your truth when I was seventeen
Fell on a heart hard as concrete
Took that seed and I let it lie
Didn’t even give it a chance to try
Ran my own road for a lot of years
Chasing my pride and drowning my fears
Looking back now, Lord, I can see
You never stopped sowing seeds in me
Chorus
Sow on
Sow on
Lord, I know I’ve made it hard
Hit rocks, hit thorns, hit a stubborn heart
Still You keep the seed coming
Still You keep the rain falling
Still You keep Your hand reaching
When I keep on running
Sow on
Sow on
Verse 2
Some seeds got tangled in the things I owned
Some got crowded by the life I’d grown
Worries, money, yesterday’s mistakes
Wrapped around every chance I’d take
There were seasons I looked alive
Green leaves hanging from a hollow vine
But You saw deeper than anybody could
You knew there was still some good ground underneath
Chorus
Sow on
Sow on
Lord, I know I’ve made it hard
Hit rocks, hit thorns, hit a stubborn heart
Still You keep the seed coming
Still You keep the rain falling
Still You keep Your hand reaching
When I keep on running
Sow on
Sow on
Bridge
Maybe the miracle wasn’t the harvest
Maybe the miracle was You staying here
Anybody else would’ve walked away
But You kept planting year after year
Final Chorus
Sow on
Sow on
Lord, I know I’ve made it hard
Hit rocks, hit thorns, hit a stubborn heart
Still You keep the seed coming
Still You keep the rain falling
Still You keep Your hand reaching
When I keep on running
Sow on
Sow on
