10.10.10.10
Lord sow your word within our hearts today
Let not the evil one snatch truth away
As we approach your word in reverent fear
Help us to understand the truth we hear
Lord make your word take root and grow secure
Through this world’s sorrow may its truth endure
Strengthen our hearts in face of worldly foes
Help it to grow though all mankind oppose
Lord let your word grow in our hearts alone
Nor be displaced by all the things we own
Teach us the truth in place of wealth’s vain lies
Help us on you alone to fix our eyes
Lord cause your word to bear its fruit in us
Shaping our lives to be more glorious
Help us to share it to a world in need
Planting abroad your word’s life-giving seed
