Gospel

---

We know that the seed is the Word,
Non believers think this is absurd;
But the truth is in what you read,
As you go about sowing your seed.

Sowing the Word as they give an ear,
Fertilizing the plant while they hear;
Satan comes trying to kill the plant,
With deception as he tries to enchant.

Just as for the seed planted on stone,
Undernourished and on their own;
Satan ensures they whither and die,
Done by his deceit along with his lie.

Seeds of doubt might land in thorns,
While trying to root the devil scorns;
Daunting growth as the thorns choke,
Whither and die within their cloak

There is no enjoyment for that seed,
Resulting from Satan and his deed;
In rocks or thorns can not grow roots,
For a bountiful harvest of fresh fruits.
