about

There is a February Album Writing month challenge to write a gospel song as your first fruits of the year. I ended up writing my first fruits song as my 40th and last post of FAWM this year. I was looking over this amazing crop of songs, and the imagery of harvest came to mind. Then it turned into a non-denomination hymn.

lyrics

Verse progression D A C G

V1
We survey the garden at sunset
At a bounty exceeding all expectations
A season of labour is nearing an end
It is time for rest and celebrations
V2
We tilled and planted, watered and weeded
Prayed for rain, watched the sky
Kept on praying, at the end of a shovel
Confident in the reply

Chorus Progression D C Gx2
And the rains came, And the sun shone down
And the garden flourished
The harvest is greater than we hoped
We have plenty and more.
Who knows what next year has in store.

V3
Lay it all in for the winter
We can weather the longest storms
Save some seed to plant in the springtime
Share what we have with the poor.

Chorus

Bridge A G D
For soil, sun, wind, and rain we give thanks
We sing our song of thanksgiving
In all things and always we give thanks
For another season worth living.

Chorus

Extro D C G (Repeat alot)
We sing our song of thanksgiving
For another season worth living.
