  A beautiful flower surpasses the glitter of even the finest gold.
  Although, in time, it withers away, it's seeds produce scores untold.

  See, everything God's made, He's given a seed, to produce after it's
  kind.  To us He's given the Seed of Love, through his son, Jesus
  the Christ.

  I read He said, we'd do "greater works" than he, I've thought,
  "How can that possible be?"   But now, I think I understand....

  He planted His seed of love in our hearts, through His son, when
  he died that day.  And as this love seed blossoms, we share
  to those who pass our way.

  So, it's not the flower at all where's the beauty, it's the seeds of love
  you know.  And the beautiful flower surpasses the glitter of even
  the finest gold.

  And ever eternal will live the flower,
  in the hearts where seeds were sown.
