life and fruit and fields that grow

in the barren land with labor and toil

planting seed and tilling soil

will stay the same, stay the same



but if for rain! but if for rain!

but if for rain to fall, irresistibly call

rain to cover me

but if for rain to heal, uncontrollably fill

the soil of eternity



and barren land will overflow with

life and fruit and fields that grow



Holy Spirit spur me to till

a once barren land so thirsty still

for living water, O God, sustains

so life and fruit and fields remain

lest they stay the same, stay the same



(hebrews 6:1-3, john 5:39; 6:44, ephesians 2:8-10, psalm 119:73)
