Make It Grow
(The Missionary Song)
from Mark 4, by Jedidiah Grooters
Key: G
[Verse 1]
G
I wake up
C G
In the morning I wake up
D
Here’s my cup
C G
Lord, You’ve filled it with enough
G
I seek Your face
C G
It’s the light that leads the day
D
You give me grace
C G
For me to share along the way
[Chorus 1]
G
Make it grow, make it grow
C G
I scatter seed, you make it grow
D
If I see or if I don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
G
All I need and all I know
C G
Is this Word in me You’ve sown
D
When I sleep and when I don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
[Verse 2]
G
I press on
C G
Throughout the day I will press on
D
The sun bears down
C G
Your love in me will keep me strong
G
Into weeks
C G
When doubt starts creeping into me
D
That tiny seed,
C G
Could it ever be a tree?
[Chorus 1]
G
Make it grow, make it grow
C G
I scatter seed, you make it grow
D
If I see or if I don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
G
All I need and all I know
C G
Is this Word in me You’ve sown
D
When I sleep and when I don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
[Verse 3]
G
I am tired
C G
In soul and body I am tired
D
My blistered hands
C G
My sore feet and weary mind
G
You tell me, “Rest,
C G
It’s the night, now get some sleep.
D
Trust my voice,
C G
And the rest you leave to me”
[Chorus 2]
G
I’ll make it grow, make it grow
C G
You scattered seed, I’ll make it grow
D
If you see or if you don’t,
C G
I’ll take this seed and make it grow
G
If you believe and trust in me
C G
This harvest to you I will show
D
I’ll put the sickle in your hand
C G
to reap the fruit from high and low
[Bridge]
C G
From every tribe on land and sea
D Em
From every mouth in whom You breathed
C G
We’ll all gather at the feast
D G
our Lord prepares for us to eat
C G
No more pain, or dark or sea
D Em
A brand new life you’ve given me
C G
Though for a time we did sleep
D G
our bodies strong eternally
[Final Chorus]
G
So make it grow, make it grow
C G
This word of life in each you’ve sown
D
When we sleep and when we won’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow.
G
Make it grow, make it grow
C G
We scatter seed, you make it grow
D
If we see or if we don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
G
All we need and all we know
C G
Is this Word in us You’ve sown
D
When we sleep and when we don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
D
When we sleep and when we don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
D
When we sleep and when we don’t,
C G
Lord take this seed and make it grow
