Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

1. A seed, a tiny seed Planted in the fertile soil of heart and mind. This seed, this little seed – Will it bear the fruit my spirit wants to find? Will it fall by the wayside, Or be choked before its time? Will it fall in stony places, I don’t know… I pray that in some spot of earth It will take root and find new birth And nourished there begin to grow and grow!

It enlarges my soul, It enlightens my mind; It enlivens my spirit Like a fountain unto life! Let it grow, Let it grow.

2. A seed, a tiny seed Growing, ever growing to a mighty tree; This seed, this precious seed – Taken root and blossoming inside of me. For the seed was the word of God Alive, and strong and true, Spreading forth its branches and its light. The Master is the Root and Vine, The Truth that all men seek to find, The gift and blessing of eternal life!

It enlarges our souls, It enlightens our minds; It enlivens our spirits, Like a fountain unto life. He is the Root, We are a branch; He is the Fruit, We are partakers; He is the Vine From whence all good comes; He will supply all that we need! And just to think that all of this began With just a seed.
