SEEDS OF REDEMPTION
by David Lee Herring (The Pow Wow Poet)
Inthe midst of this pain and sorrow
When it seems there's no hope for tomorrow
In ourhearts, Grand Father, you’ve planted theseeds
You’ve given us the answers to this world's needs
With generosity we fight the greed
With joy we come against despair
We're not afraid to show that we care
And as on this journey we go
We continue to daily sow
The Seeds of Redemption

Seedsof freedom, Seeds of faith,
Seeds of joy, Seeds of Grace
Seeds of kindness, seeds of peace
And as we see the hate increase
Yourseeds of love spring forth from our hearts
Andwe see the healing start
And we sow the Seeds of Redemption

As darkness comes against thelight
We continue in this good fight
And to those in deep despair
We have a great hope to share
And to this people and this nation
In the midst of much desolation
We pour out the healing oil
And deep into this soil
We sow the Seeds of Redemption

For in our hearts, Grand Father,you’ve planted the seeds
You’ve given us the answer tothis world’s needs
Yes, from our hearts we sow theSeeds of Redemption
