      THE FARMER’S SEED

      A Crowd of folk from all around came out to Jesus’ preaching.

      He told this parable to show how to receive his teaching.

      "A farmer went to plant his crop. He tossed out all his seed.

      Hoping it would grow to feed the hungry people’s need.

      Some seed fell right on the path where people walked along.

      The birds came down and ate it up. They sang a happy song.

      Some landed on the solid rack where they could grow no roots.

      The sun came out and dried them up while they were tiny shoots.

      Still other seed fell down where all the thorns and thistles tried

      To choke them when they first came up. Those seedlings also died.

      But some seed fell on good soil, put down roots, rose to the sun.

      It put a hundred times more fruit out then for everyone.

      ZACHARY’S VISITOR

      When Herod was the king there was a priest named Zachary.

      His wife was named Elizabeth of Aaron’s ancestry.

      Both were worthy in God’s sight and both observed God’s law,

      But they were childless, growing old, and had no evil flaw.

      Now, Zachary’s time had come to serve within the temple walls

      When his turn came to burn incense an angel came to call.

      Zachary was shaken, but the angel’s voice was mild.

      He said, "Don’t fear, your prayers are heard, and you shall have a child.

      And you must name him John, for he’ll be great and hear God’s voice.

      He’ll be your joy and great delight, and many will rejoice.

      He’ll never drink wine or strong drink, but be filled with God’s Spirit.

      He’ll bring back many to God’s ways, all those who can hear it.

      And with Elijah’s power he will turn fathers’ hearts back

      To their own children and set disobedient back on track.

      Zachary then said, "How can I know all of this is true?

      Give me some proof so I will know the next thing I must do."

      I am old and my wife too is getting on in years,

      How can we be sure that God has heard our cries and tears?"

      The angel said, "I’m Gabriel. I stand before the Lord,

      And I have come to bring you good news, not the plague or sword.

      But since you didn’t believe you will not speak until he’s born.

      Now you’ll be silent saying nothing ’til that happy morn."

      The people standing at the door didn’t know why Zachary stayed

      Inside the sanctuary or the silent signs he made.

      And when he finally came out he decided to go home.

      The strangely silent Zachary made
