All We Do Is Sow

A seed is put into the ground
It rests beneath the sun
The miracle of what springs forth
Almighty hands have done

The sower having done his part
In faith must watch and wait
In time the object of his toil
Will sit upon his plate

When intimate relations
Of a man and wife are through
The seed is sown in passion
The results are me and you

We can follow the instructions
Doing only what we know
But God creates the seeds of life
All we do is sow
