Our background MIDI is "I'm Plantin' A Seed",

... my Girls' Brigade leader wants to use it ("I'm Plantin' A Seed")
at a commissioning ceremony in two weeks...
the girls will actually be planting seeds during the service,
and the song is just right to go with that. (Angela, from England)

I'm Plantin' A Seed

I'm plantin' a seed, way down deep in the earth
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow

Chorus:
Maybe in a week, maybe in a year
My little seedling will appear
Spreadin' out it's branches, sinkin' down it's roots
Bearing lots of healthy fruit.

I'm waterin' my seed, that's way down deep in the earth
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow

I'm prayin' for my seed, that's way down deep in the earth
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow (chorus)

I'm plantin' a seed, way down deep in the earth
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow

Part of the New Kid's Collection

I just wanted to let you know that I have been printing off
some of your sheet music and the words.
This is for a Vacation Bible School program that I have been putting together.
It is a lot of work but all in His glory and for His children.
I had a few songs that I was going to use and then I landed here.
Thank God! I am wondering about the song, "I'm Plantin' A Seed". It is so perfect
for my whole theme which is "Celebration of Creation", Celebracion de la Creacion.
(Sharlene, from the Salvation Army in Canada)
