Plant Good Seed In Fertile Soil
A good mother had an only son
one she wanted to do right
she was no Christian herself
but knew the Bible kept you right
So this mother wanted for her boy
to plant good seeds on fertile soil
stories of Jesus would be so ideal
divine truth fully so heavenly royal
'Jesus calls His disciples' his first book
tells so much of the sound of Jesus' call
this explains why we follow Jesus
makes sure we obey always for all
The next Jesus book in his library
'Jesus by the sea of Galilee'
there Jesus taught His disciples often
about God's kingdom to inwardly see
Then the final book for his lot
was entitled 'two stories Jesus told'
the prodigal son and the good samaritan
great lessons there to be really bold
That little boy then only eight
loved these Jesus books so much
20 years later received Lord Jesus
born again with HIs special touch
Plant good seeds in fertile soil
mother made this her true wish
this seed took years to blossom
her boy became Jesus' own child royal!
(This piece tells you about a little boy who was given Jesus' books to plant seeds in his early life that later would bring spiritual fruit, that boy was ME!
These books were published by Ladybird books all these 60 years ago, as far as I'm aware they are out of print but can be purchased on eBay.
The three books are the following,
Jesus by the sea of Galilee,
Jesus Calls His disciples
Two stories Jesus told. )
