Elizabeth Gage has expertly written an anthem based on the Parable of the Sower, Seed, and Soils. The lilting melody in 3/4 tells the familiar story in the first verse, and identifies the planted seed as God's word. The engaging melody is complemented with a memorable and singable chorus. The second verse personalizes the story as a prayer for understanding and personal growth. Optional harmony is available on the last two chords of the ending for this otherwise unison anthem.
