He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches” (Luke 13:18-19 NKJV).
Lord, I know I’m like a little mustard seed, I know how small I am, how much help I need; My knowledge is ignorant, my strength is so weak, Lord, I am nothing, therefore it is You that I seek.
A mustard seed that stays a mustard seed is a wasted thing, It never changes, never faces the challenges that growth will bring; Its existence is really nothing more than just being there, It finally fades away, and the world really could not care.
I know that within me is the potential to grow, Much more of Your will I can come to know, True strength can only come from serving You, Allowing You to guide everything I do.
Lord, I know I’m like a little mustard seed, I know how small I am, how much help I need; My knowledge is ignorant, my strength is so weak, Lord, I am nothing, therefore it is You that I seek.
Lord, help me to grow to be like a mighty tree, With the strength to support and comfort those who need me; May I reflect Your care, concern and love to all, And be the “mustard seed” that has grown to be strong and tall.
