The Wheat of Heaven
Taken from the stalk of Calvary
Placed within the dark, cold earth
Silent lies the Wheat of heaven
There to wait resurrection birth
Left alone in fragrant seed coat
Till the time had come to pass
It would soon give way to victory
Life eternal sprang forth at last
When death’s grip no longer held Him
Wakened by the Spirit’s power
Setting free the Shoot of Jesse
This would be salvation’s hour
He had died upon that hillside
Buried in a borrowed grave
Now he lives in promised victory
Shared with those He came to save
It was said that one should perish
That a nation might survive
Through the sacrifice of Jesus
All God’s seedlings leapt alive
Oh the harvest of His promise
Through
...
