The Seed

The seed is in the fruit
the fruits not in the seed
so I hope you will concede
to the notion that I plead
that the seed is in the fruit
and not the fruit that's in the seed.

The fruit that we all need
once started with a seed.
The seed grew deep and made a root
and through the ground a little shoot
burst forth and gave a hoot!
Growing quickly toward the Son.
Delicious fruit for everyone.

Grapes that glisten on the vine
Apples grow in the sunshine.
Fruit so sweet, come take a bite.
This kind of fruit is a delight.
Give them a seed they answer “NO”.
Share this fruit and seeds you'll sow.

The seed my friend is the word of God.
They won't take a bite because it looks too hard.
The fruit of the Spirit from heaven above
is Gods way of showing the world His love.
So abide in Christ and let your fruit be sweet.
It will be so good they will want to eat.

So please stop feeding them with seeds
only fruit will meet their needs.
With all the people that you meet
if you offer fruit this sweet
they will gladly take a bite
and the seed inside will spring to life.
