Jason Upton The Farmer And The Field
And there was a time not long ago
When the sun did shine
And the sowers sowed
And the rain did rain
And the crops did grow
It was a time before machinery
A time before certainty
A time before we bought the lie
A time before the farmer died
When we had trusting hearts and human soul
It was a time not very long ago
Awake me, Lord
Open my eyes to Your beauty
Awake me, Lord
Open my heart to Your grace
Awake me, Lord
Open my mind to Your mercy
Merciful sunshine
Merciful rain
When I seek You, I'm gonna find You
Giver of all good things
Giver of all good things
Lord, have mercy
On the farmer and the field
Lord, have mercy
On the poor, the weak, the real
Lord, have mercy
We have played the devil's game
Lord, have mercy
Like sunshine and rain
When I seek You, I'm gonna find You
Giver of all good things
Giver of all good things
When I seek You, I'm gonna find You
You're the giver of all good things
Giver of all good things
There was a time not long ago
When the sun did shine
And the sowers sowed
And the rain did rain
And the crops did grow
It was a time before machinery
A time before certainty
A time before we bought the lie
It was a time before the farmer died
When we had trusting hearts and human soul
It was a time not very long ago
Not very long ago
When we trusted You
Lord, we want to trust You again
When I seek You, I'm gonna find You
You're the giver of all good things
Giver of all good things
When I seek You, I'm gonna find You
Giver of all good things
Giver of all good things
Giver of all good things
