Falling Seed

I wish I could write a story

Worth your time

and reading

But my life, the glories

Often needing a better ending

If I could, I would

Write you many songs

Songs worth singing

I would right, all my wrongs

Make it a gospel

worth spreading

But what I can do

is give my heart to you

lift up my hands

and worship you

If I could,

I would be strong

Breaking every chain

I would fit,

and I would belong

A life blessed and blessing

But now I see

I am a seed

In the failings

I succeed

Becoming the person

You’ve always seen in me

But what I will do

Is quiet my heart

Trust and worship You
