The Sowers Song

 
              Intro: Db 
 
Verse 1:
    Db                           Db 
Oh God, I am furrowed like the field 
                    Db 
Torn open like the dirt 
                         Gb 
And I know that to be healed 
        Ab              Db 
That I must be broken first 
                      Gb 
I am aching for the yield 
                 Ab 
That You will harvest from this hurt 
 
Gb 
Abide in me 
Ab 
Let these branches bear You fruit 
Gb 
Abide in me, Lord 
Ab 
As I abide in You 
 
Db 
 
Verse 2:
       Db 
So I kneel 
                             Db 
At the bright edge of the garden 
                       Db 
At the golden edge of dawn 
                          Gb 
At the glowing edge of spring 
           Ab              Db 
When the winter's edge is gone 
                          Gb 
And I can see the color green 
       Ab 
I can hear the sower's song 
 
Gb 
Abide in me 
Ab 
Let these branches bear You fruit 
Gb 
Abide in me, Lord 
Ab 
Let Your word take root 
Gb 
Remove in me 
Ab 
The branch that bears no fruit 
Gb 
And move in me, Lord 
Ab 
As I abide in You

Bridge:
Bbm                           Gb 
As the rain and the snow fall, down from the sky 
Db                              Ab 
And they don't return but they water the earth and bring they forth life 
Bbm     Db                 Gb 
Giving seed to the sower, bread for the hunger 
Fm                         Ab 
So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder 
Bbm                     Gb 
And it will not return, it will not return void 
Db                       Ab 
We shall be led in peace, and go out with joy 
Bbm       Db              Gb 
And the hills before us, will raise their voices 
Fm                               Ab 
And the trees of the field will clap their hands as the land rejoices 
Bbm                          Gb 
And instead of the thorn now, the cypress towers 
Db                             Ab 
And instead of the briar the myrtle blooms with a thousand flowers 
Bbm          Db         Gb 
And it will make a name, make a name for our God 
Fm                 Ab 
A sign everlasting that will never be cut off 
Bbm                       Gb 
As the earth brings forth sprouts from the seed 
Db                         Ab 
What is sown in the garden grows into a mighty tree 
Bbm                         Gb 
So the Lord plants justice, justice and praise 
Fm                   Ab 
To rise before the nations till the end of days 
Bbm                            Gb 
As the rain and the snow fall, down from the sky 
Db                             Ab 
And they don't return but they water the earth and they bring forth life 
Bbm     D                Gb 
Giving seed to the sower, and bread for the hunger 
Db Gb                     Fm                          Gb 
So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder 
Gb                     Ab 
And it will not return, it will not return void 
Gb                 Ab 
It will not return, it will not return void 
Gb                  Ab 
It will not return, it will not return void 
Gb                        Ab 
We shall be led in peace, and go out with joy
