The Seed
The Grace Well Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the beginning was the Word and He was God
The creator of the earth and the universe
But he was scarcely known and even worse was hardly received

So your God became flesh and dwelt among us
Bringing life and shining light into the darkness

By His grace alone He left his home to make himself known

Let your word dwell in me and become so rich and pure
So your kingdom may grow like a tiny seed to the grandest tree
Let your word dwell in me
.2:
We serve our God who's the judge of the breathing
And even the dead will account for their living
So don't be tricked and fooled everyone is without excuse
We've got the power of a heavenly crown
The mountains crumble and the hills lay down
So everyone might see the King has come shining as the sun

BRIDGE:.Sing, my heart, for the harvest is coming soon for the faithful ones
Sing, my soul, for the rising sun the coming king reigns in me
