Lyrics
A Seed on the Path
©, Susan H. Wood, 2006
I met a young man
Looked older than his years
His face was drawn
Eyes fighting back tears
The oppressive weight
Of his burdens and cares
Said the emptiness inside
Was more than he could bear
Chorus
Don?t forget the joy of being alive
The fowl of the air don?t worry at night
You?re greater than them in God?s sight
Put your faith in him it?ll be alright
The commission at hand
I shared with him my faith
My experience and strength
And the glory of God?s grace
As time drew by
I saw hope in his eyes
A starting point
For beginning a new life
Chorus
Don?t forget the joy of being alive
The fowl of the air don?t worry at night
You?re greater than them in God?s sight
Put your faith in him it?ll be alright
A seed on the path
It withered and died
God?s gift refused
I questioned why
God calls us all
We must choose to believe
And walk the walk
Then his gifts receive
Don?t forget the joy of being alive
The fowl of the air don?t worry at night
Chorus
Don?t forget the joy of being alive
The fowl of the air don?t worry at night
You?re greater than them in God?s sight
Put your faith in him it?ll be alright
Don?t forget the joy of being alive
The fowl of the air don?t worry at night
You?re greater than them in God?s sight
Put your faith in him it?ll be alright
