We Don't Know How It Grows

Half-handed Cloud

Compositor: John Ringhofer

If a man should scatter seed upon the ground
And then to sleep by night
And rise by day
Then the seed should sprout and grow
But he himself he does not know
Just how it got that way

The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Nobody knows

The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Only He knows

What I should compare it to
A mustard seed so small it grew
Into the largest tree
What should it be likened to?
Some leaven hidden deep inside of meal
Measured three

The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Nobody knows

The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows
Only He knows

The kingdom of God
We don't know how it grows


Grows
Only He knows

And then the seed should sprout and grow
But he, himself, he does not know
Just how it got that way
