As the seed falls to the ground
And it comes to its demise;
It is born again and flourishes
Into a plant it becomes alive.
As the web of life continues
And the caterpillar dies;
It leaves behind its past
As a butterfly arrives.
From a seed into a flower
All creation is glorified,
To reveal the truth of God
Which can never be denied.
As our sinful deceitful ways
Are surrendered to Christ we die,
We become a new creation
As our spirit becomes alive.
And our body it decays
As this shell is only dust,
Our glorified bodies are prepared
By God only if we trust.
To trust that Jesus died and rose
This example we take to see,
That when we die we awake
To dwell forever in heaven with He.
