One Plants (Another Waters)
©Aven Grace 2008 SOCAN
Now and then, I visit Granny’s garden
Might plant a little seed where she has tilled the soil
We share the fruit, but not much of the burden
The rain & sunshine fell, and Granny had the toil
Then Granny shares the wisdom in it all:
One plants, another waters
But God gives the increase, it is true
Grow strong, and tend your garden
Bring a harvest in where God has planted you.
She looks back on a lifetime of good livin’
To change your world begins with just a single seed
It takes the growin’, and the grievin’ and the giving
To build a family, or teach a child to read
Together, Granny says, we’ll meet the need:
One plants, another waters
But God gives the increase, it is true
Grow strong, and tend your garden
Bring a harvest in where God has planted you.
Now who can count the lives that God is changing
Because one willing heart would love and laugh and live
And as we bloom, He’s quietly arranging
The pretty blossoms in our hands that we can give
We’ll bring a fragrant offering to Him:
One plants, another waters
But God gives the increase, it is true
Grow strong, tend your garden
Bring a harvest in where God has planted you
Bring your harvest in where God has planted you.
