A Grain of Wheat

Lyrics

Verse 1
A grain of wheat will sprout and grow
To bear its seed, and then
The seed will die, but in the morning will
Become alive again

Chorus
As evening comes and twilight falls
The promise never fades
The seed that dies will live again
At dawning of the day

Verse 2
For now we part until the day
That Jesus comes again
For what is sown in sorrow now
Will rise in glory then

Repeat chorus

Song Story

I wrote this song after close friends had a miscarriage. Though that’s what was on my mind, I kept the lyric broad enough to deal with death at other ages.
