Good Soil | Spirit and I

The Story

Our minds are constantly cluttered with information overload, notifications, work stress, and modern anxieties. If we aren't careful, these "weeds" will choke out our spiritual lives. Good Soil is a raw, daily prayer asking God to break up the hard clay of our skeptical hearts, pull up the weeds of anxiety, and give us the quiet focus needed to let His truth actually sink deep and change how we live.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came with a handful Of seed in your palm You scattered it wide Like a prayer in the dawn Some fell on the roadside Hard as stone Some got choked out By the world's undertow [Pre-Chorus] But I hear the lesson Soft in the rain What we hold matters What we make remains [Chorus] Give me good soil Let me grow, let me grow Good soil Where the mercy can show I’ll be good soil For the seed You sow And I’ll scatter it farther Wherever I go [Verse 2] The thorns in my hurry The rocks in my fear The dust in my anger The weeds of old years You broke up my hurry You pulled up the lies Turned over the hard parts And opened my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Now my hands are ready My heart is awake I want what is holy For other's sake [Chorus] Give me good soil Let me grow, let me grow Good soil Where the mercy can show I’ll be good soil For the seed You sow And I’ll scatter it farther Wherever I go [Bridge] Make me a field For Your glory to shine To harvest a bounty That's Yours and not mine Let the fruit that I bear Become seed for the blind To feed every soul That You bring me to find [Final Chorus] Give me good soil Let me grow, let me grow Good soil Where the mercy can show I’ll be good soil For the seed You sow And I’ll scatter it farther Wherever I go [Outro] Good soil Let it run deep and slow Good soil Till the whole world knows I’ll be good soil For the seed You sow And I’ll scatter it farther Wherever I go
