The Sower (Remastered)
Track 4
In the hush between the heartbeats You are sowing in the dark Tiny mercies on the pathway In the thorns and in the heart
Some words fall on the roadway Pigeons circling, they’re gone Some spark on shallow feelings But there’s no root to hold on
Some grow among the brightest Choked by worries we obey But some fall into open ground Arise to meet the day
I’ve been the road, I’ve been the rock, I’ve been the tangled vine Make me the field that drinks the rain and gives the harvest time So you’re loving me where I can yet see
Still let it be when I sleep and rise Let mystery bring the green So you’re loving me
The farmer closes weary eyes The midnight takes his hand The earth moves quietly To head by more than he can plan
He doesn’t know the how of it Only that life will be So teach my restless soul to trust the work I cannot see So you’re loving me where I can’t yet see
Still let it be when I sleep and rise Let mystery bring the green So you’re loving me
An enemy has sown at night There’s shadow in the rose We beg to pull the sorrow up But you say let them grow
At harvest I will sort the field The truth will shine like gold So give me patient, faithful hands And keep my heart your own
So you’re loving me Cut the thorns and set the captive free When morning fires the sky And angels gleam the sea
Gather me in peace So you’re loving me So you’re loving In the hush after the heartbeat
I am open ground Word of life come down
