Make It Grow
(The Missionary Song)
from Mark 4, by Jedidiah Grooters
Key: G
[Verse 1]
I wake up
In the morning I wake up
Hereâs my cup
Lord, Youâve filled it with enough
I seek Your face
Itâs the light that leads the day
You give me grace
For me to share along the way
[Chorus 1]
Make it grow, make it grow
I scatter seed, you make it grow
If I see or if I donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
All I need and all I know
Is this Word in me Youâve sown
When I sleep and when I donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
[Verse 2]
I press on
Throughout the day I will press on
The sun bears down
Your love in me will keep me strong
Into weeks
When doubt starts creeping into me
That tiny seed,
Could it ever be a tree?
[Chorus 1]
Make it grow, make it grow
I scatter seed, you make it grow
If I see or if I donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
All I need and all I know
Is this Word in me Youâve sown
When I sleep and when I donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
[Verse 3]
I am tired
In soul and body I am tired
My blistered hands
My sore feet and weary mind
You tell me, âRest,
Itâs the night, now get some sleep.
Trust my voice,
And the rest you leave to meâ
[Chorus 2]
Iâll make it grow, make it grow
You scattered seed, Iâll make it grow
If you see or if you donât,
Iâll take this seed and make it grow
If you believe and trust in me
This harvest to you I will show
Iâll put the sickle in your hand
to reap the fruit from high and low
[Bridge]
From every tribe on land and sea
From every mouth in whom You breathed
Weâll all gather at the feast
our Lord prepares for us to eat
No more pain, or dark or sea
A brand new life youâve given me
Though for a time we did sleep
our bodies strong eternally
[Final Chorus]
So make it grow, make it grow
This word of life in each youâve sown
When we sleep and when we wonât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow.
Make it grow, make it grow
We scatter seed, you make it grow
If we see or if we donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
All we need and all we know
Is this Word in us Youâve sown
When we sleep and when we donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
When we sleep and when we donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
When we sleep and when we donât,
Lord take this seed and make it grow
