Carelessly, heedlessly?
Scattering seeds of folly?
Sure will the reaping be.
Refrain:
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Sowing and reaping, sad ’twill be;
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Gath’ring the tares for eternity.
2 Sowing the seeds of malice,
Hatred, and bitterness,
Reaping with tears your harvest—
Sorrow and wretchedness. [Refrain]
3 Sowing of pride and passion,
Pleasure and revelry,
Reaping of wrath and torment
Through all eternity. [Refrain]
4 Sowing of sin, remember,
This shall your harvest be—
Banished from God and heaven,
Lost through eternity. [Refrain] Topics: Sowing/Reaping Scripture: Galatians 6:7 Tune Title: [What Are You Sowing, Sinner?]
