Preparation of the Gifts | Parable
A sower went out to sow the seed
Some of it fell upon the path
some fell on shallow, rocky soil
and some among choking thorns
To ev’rything, there is a season
a time to be born
and a time to die
a time to plant
and a time for harvest
a time to meet
and a time to part
