🎶 “More Than I Planted” 

Verse 1

I planted seeds in quiet ground,

Just hoping for a simple yield,

But roses bloomed where hope was found,

And grace rose shining in my field.

He gave me more than I expected—

A harvest time could not contain;

He poured out mercy unexpected,

Forgiveness falling like the rain.

Verse 2

I planted seeds of compassion,

Prayed tenderness would start to grow,

And He sent people on my pathway

To shower with His love below.

I sowed small seeds of encouragement,

Asked God to bless them as they spread,

And He filled up my heart with hope—

A living joy to share instead.

Verse 3

I planted seeds of faithfulness,

My offerings humble, small, and few;

He filled my garden full of faith,

Though weeds crept in, as weeds will do.

I asked Him for His sweet forgiveness,

Pulled doubts from where they tried to start;

He set me apart for His purpose,

And wrote His peace upon my heart.

Verse 4

Tested and tried, I wondered softly

If I must give my life someday,

Like pods that break to free their seeds

And scatter truth along the way.

But then He whispered, “Child, remember—

Your life is Mine; your strength is Me.

Just sow the seeds of his truth and love,

And trust the harvest yet to be.”

🎵 Chorus 

More than I planted,

More than I dreamed,

Grace overflowing

In rivers redeemed.

Mercy unending,

Love without end—

He sends the harvest

Only God can send.
