Seed planted within

Unto, the darkness of a remorseful heart.
A light has broken through to till up a soul,
Out of the forsaken land, a seed is planted.
A fountain of the Living water 
Is established unto the new birth.
Roots begin to sprout unto understanding,
Worldly taught wisdom becomes foolish.
In the renewing of the established mind.
While the eyes gaze unto this newfound beauty surrounding, that once was blind to a land full of corruption which leads one  astray from seeking the guidance of God.
Oh, Lord to encompass this new tune,
Flowing into the ears of the hope, love and peace of a Loving God, that wish all to be saved and receive the promised inheritance of the Holy Spirit. 
One's nose receives a new pleasing aroma, which turns thou head to seek , the fruits within planted to showcase the glory and manifestation of a evergreen,  all weather producing fruit only through God.
These, hands no longer build own house are a temple unto the creator of all.
But, have laid rest unto the guidance of being a dwelling place within that the promised inheritance of the Holy Spirit purifies one into the likeness of Christ. 
Roots continue seeking  and leading ones feet, unto a lighted path through the land of the shadow of death, that once entangled thou feet but now rejoice in the release of the bondage of captivity.
