If a man should scatter seed upon the ground And then to sleep by night And rise by day Then the seed should sprout and grow But he himself he does not know Just how it got that way The kingdom of God We don't know how it grows Nobody knows The kingdom of God We don't know how it grows Only He knows What I should compare it to A mustard seed so small it grew Into the largest tree
What should it be likened to? Some leaven hidden deep inside of meal Measured three The kingdom of God We don't know how it grows Nobody knows The kingdom of God We don't know how it grows Only He knows The kingdom of God We don't know how it grows Grows Only He knows And then the seed should sprout and grow But he, himself, he does not know Just how it got that way
