The seed

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

He
Has set
Eternity
In all our hearts

That's the place to start..
To help eternity to grow
Sacrifice we must know.

Tend the tender
Ignore the weeds
Be of service
Fulfil the need.

Look past the faults
Find what's within
Love can cover
A multitude of sin.

To love the good
And shun the evil
It is a sign
We are His people
Speak the truth
With genuine love.

The seed is there
Just needs the showers.

The world will see
His Almighty Power.

Power to not only save our souls
Power to turn His seed to eternities gold.
