Great Tender of our being
Lyrics: Linda Posthuma
Music: Claudie Larouche
Great Tender of our being
casting seeds upon the earth
let each one of us receive
the blessings of our birth.
Refrain:
Like a seed buried deep in the soil
Your love, like the sun helps us grow.
But each seed has to find its own way
breaking through to the full light of day.
From the start we are told who we are
our stories are shaped by all around.
At some point we hear within a deeper song
and we are gifted by grace to sing along.
Refrain:
Like a seed buried deep in the soil
Your love, like the sun helps us grow.
But each seed has to find its own way
breaking through to the full light of day.
We don’t choose the ground on which we fall
some around us have a harder time by far.
Let the deeper song of love be our choice
till we can all hear the tune
and find our voice.
Refrain:
Like a seed buried deep in the soil
Your love, like the sun helps us grow.
But each seed has to find its own way
breaking through to the full light of day
…breaking through to the full light of day.
