Psalm 65 : 9-13 KJV
Opening Song: Seed of Praise
Intro
Put your hands together everyone, lets praise the Lord. (Verse 1) Morning breaks upon the field, Hands of faith the furrows yield; Scattering truth in furrowed sod, Trusting rain that comes from God.
Pre-Chorus
Weeping now may last a night, But joy shall greet the dawn; Every promise—yes and amen— In Christ, the Living Song.
Chorus
Seed of praise—we cast it high! Let it ride the winds of Heaven. Though the ground seems bare and dry, Still we sow at Your direction. Faith shall sprout, and hope shall rise, Watered by redeeming grace; Lord of harvest, hear our cry— Receive this seed of praise! (Spoken phrase) Sing it again
Chorus
Seed of praise—we cast it high! Let it ride the winds of Heaven. Though the ground seems bare and dry, Still we sow at Your direction. Faith shall sprout, and hope shall rise, Watered by redeeming grace; Lord of harvest, hear our cry— Receive this seed of praise!
Verse
Tiny hands, the mustard grain, Hidden now beneath the plain; Yet within, a forest waits— Kingdom power germinates. Pre-Chorus Though we walk by faith alone, Not by sight or ease, We believe the seed once sown Shall become great trees.
Chorus
Seed of praise—we cast it high! Let it ride the winds of Heaven. Though the ground seems bare and dry, Still we sow at Your direction. Faith shall sprout, and hope shall rise, Watered by redeeming grace; Lord of harvest, hear our cry— Receive this seed of praise!
Bridge
For they that sow in tears shall reap in joy (Ps 126 : 5); Not one word You’ve spoken shall return void (Isa 55 : 11). Clouds may cover, storms employ, Yet the Lord of harvest still reigns—O joy!
Outro
Seed of praise—Lord, breathe and bless; We await Your fruitfulness. Seed of praise—now and always, Jesus, magnify Your Name!
Closing Song: Harvest of Joy
Intro
Put your hands together everyone, lets praise the Lord. Bring the house down. Amen?
Verse 1
Fields once brown now wave with gold; Tears of sowing long foretold Turn to songs of glad surprise— Morning breaks before our eyes.
Chorus
Harvest of joy, rising from the night, We lift our hearts beneath Your holy light; Seed we have sown, watered by Your grace, Now bursts with life to show the Savior’s face. From furrowed ground to songs on high— Jesus, our harvest, our hope, our cry.
(spoken phrase) Sing it with your chest! Again.
Chorus
Harvest of joy, rising from the night, We lift our hearts beneath Your holy light; Seed we have sown, watered by Your grace, Now bursts with life to show the Savior’s face. From furrowed ground to songs on high— Jesus, our harvest, our hope, our cry.
Verse 2
Bread for the eater, seed for the sower (2 Cor 9 : 10), Mercy unending, grace running over; Hands once empty, now overflow— All God’s increase, His goodness shows.
Chorus
Harvest of joy, rising from the night, We lift our hearts beneath Your holy light; Seed we have sown, watered by Your grace, Now bursts with life to show the Savior’s face. From furrowed ground to songs on high— Jesus, our harvest, our hope, our cry.
Bridge
Not unto us, O Lord, but unto Thy Name be praise (Ps 115 : 1); From the whisper of the seedling To the thunder of the grain. All creation joins our anthem— Every knee and tongue proclaim: “Jesus Christ is Lord of harvest, Yesterday, today, the same!”
Chorus
Harvest of joy, rising from the night, We lift our hearts beneath Your holy light; Seed we have sown, watered by Your grace, Now bursts with life to show the Savior’s face. From furrowed ground to songs on high— Jesus, our harvest, our hope, our cry. (final – swell, then soft reprise) Harvest of joy, echo through the land; Guide every step within the reaper’s hand. Grace sown in faith, faith crowned with grace— All for the glory of the Ancient of Days.
Benediction
Go, and the God of peace keep you— Seed and harvest, night and day; ‘Til the reaping angels gather, And the tears are wiped away. Amen.
