lyrics

A sower went out to sow
his seed:
and as he sowed,
some fell by the way side;
and it was trodden down,
and the fowls of the air devoured it.

Now the parable is this:
the seed is the word of God,

those by
the way side
are that hear;
then cometh
the devil,
and taketh away
the word out of their hearts,
lest they should believe
and be saved.

Where is your faith?

But he that heareth, and does not,
is like a man that built an house
without a foundation upon the earth,
against which the stream did beat vehemently, and it fell,
and the ruin of that house was great.

Leave there thy gift before the altar,
and go thy way.

And if the right hand
offends thee, cut it off.

But let your communication be,
yea, yea; nay, nay;
for whatsoever is more than these
cometh of evil.

For if ye love them
which love you,
what reward have ye?

Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect.

But when ye pray,
use not vain repetitions,
as the heathen do:
for they think that
they shall be heard
for their much speaking.

Which of you by taking thought
can add one cubit unto his stature?

Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow;
they toil not,
neither do they spin.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?
Are we stronger than he?



There is none who undesrstands or seeks God.
All turned aside;
together they have become
useless, and
fallen under the judgement
of death.

O generation of vipers,
who has warned you to flee
the wrath to come?

For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it.

For whosoever exalteth himself,
shall be abased.

Take heed,
beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees,
and of the leaven of Herod.

Arise, take nothing for your journey,
neither staves, nor scrip,
neither bread, neither money;
neither have two coats apiece.

Carry neither purse,
nor scrip,
nor shoes.

Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of?

Behold, I give unto you power
to tread on serpents and scorpions,
an over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means
hurt you.

Come, for all things are now ready.

And without controversy, great is
the mistery of godliness: God was manifest
in the flesh, justified
in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world,
received up into glory.

Come, for all things are now ready.
