Ask your heavenly Father
To help prepare the ground,
He will plow and soften it,
And till it all around,
Then you must plant the holy seed
That's found in God's true Word,
He will keep it safe from blight,
And every hurtful bird,
But you must water it with prayer,
And pull out all the weeds,
Sweet thoughts of Christ will fertilize
All those living seeds,
You'll be the happy reaper soon,
Of baskets full of peace,
And love and joy and kindness.
Your fruit will never cease.
