A Seed is carried on unfeeling winds
Through water, earth, and air and fire
Back and forth between the elements
That all seem to conspire
Thirsty, offered only sour drink
Bitter as the fateful wounds
Cries of 'God, have You forsaken me?'
Drowned out by darkest noon

But peace, be still
A Kingdom's rising
Peace, be still
A Kingdom's rising here

Scarlet cords have been Your only clothes
Fallen threads align the rocks
Stripped away by all Your friends turned foes
Who mock and cast their lots
A Seed is lost in anonymity
Beneath the ground it fades from view
A cold world moves on apathetically
But Love will change it too!

Peace, be still
A Kingdom's rising
Peace, be still
A Kingdom's rising
Peace, be still
A Kingdom's rising
Peace, be still
A Kingdom's rising here

The Sower became The Seed
That all of us trampled down
But over our blasphemies
A word of forgiveness resounds
Love is the Giving Tree
Who Lays down His life for all
And rises eternally
But always starts off so small
