Sowing the Seed
Here in this place new light is
streaming,
now is the darkness vanished away,
see in this space our fears and our
dreamings
brought here to you in the light of this
day.
Gather us in the
lost and
forsaken,
gather us in the
blind and the
lame;
call to us now
and we shall
awaken.
We shall arise
to the sound of
our name.
We are the
young our lives
are a mystery.
We are the old
who yearn for
your face.
We have been
sung throughout
all of history,
called to be light
to the whole
human race.
Gather us in the
rich and the
haughty.
Gather us in the
proud and the
strong;
give us a heart
so meek and so
lowly;
give us the
courage to enter
the song.
Here we will take the wine
and the water,
here we will take the
bread of new birth,
here you shall call your
sons and your daughters
call us anew to be salt for
the earth.
Give us to drink
the wine of
compassion,
give us to eat
the bread that
is you;
nourish us well
and teach us to
fashion
lives that are
holy and hearts
that are true.
Not in the dark of buildings confining,
not in some heaven light years away,
here in this place the new light is shining
now is the kingdom, now is the day.
Gather us in and
hold us forever,
gather us in and
make us your
own.
Gather us in all
peoples
together,
fire of love in
our flesh and
our bone.

I am the Light,
bringing you out of
darkness,
so come, take my
light to the world.
I am the Bread you
must feed to the
hungry,
the wine that must
fill ev’ry heart.
Foxes have holes,
birds have their
nests,
but the Son of Man
has no place to rest.
Come follow me,
be the light of the nations.
Leave your nets and come, follow me.
I am the Life that must change every life
and the Way that must alter your ways.
I am the Truth and my word is the cross
you must take if you want to be free.
Foxes have holes, birds have their nests,
but the Son of Man has no place to rest.
Come follow me,
be the light of the nations.
Leave your nets and come, follow me.
I am the Sower, come, work in my vineyard,
my field. Tend my vines, sow the grain.
And should it fall to the ground it can only
spring up with new life, hundredfold.
Foxes have holes, birds have their nests,
but the Son of Man has no place to rest.
Come follow me,
be the light of the nations.
Leave your nets and come, follow me.
I am the Shepherd,
come into the sheepfold
to help feed my lambs,
feed my sheep.
Bring back the straying,
and bind up their
wounds,
and rejoice when you’ve
found what was lost.
Foxes have holes, birds
have their nests,
but the Son of Man has
no place to rest.
Come follow me,
be the light of the nations.
Leave your nets and come, follow me.
