-it Never Cease's To Amaze Me-
We're been planting seeds for ere so long
and it ne'er ceases to amaze me
how the Good Lord makes them grow
there's some seed would dormant lie
and let ages upon ages go on by
just when it thinks the time is right
up sprouts the shoots in glorious sight
as if to sing out loud and shout
glory be, glory be, I see the light
that's why it never ceases to amaze me
how the Good Lord makes them grow
the roots then take hold in sometimes
desolate and arid soils
and all the while the little green leaves above smiles
as it quenches its thirst on the morning dews
then looks up in awe at the warming sun
and still the Good Lord's work is not quite done
for that little seed then grows into a giant tree
that is why it ne'er ceases to amaze me
how the Good Lord makes them grow.
