Luke 8: 1-3 "A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell on the edge of the path and was trampled on; and the birds of the air ate it up. Some seed fell on rock, and when it came up it withered away, having no moisture. Some seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew with it and choked it. And some seed fell into rich soil and grew and produced a crop a hundredfold."

 

      Jesus said:
      A sower went out sowing
      He scattered lots of seeds
      But as the crops were growing
      A lot were choked with weeds
      Some were burnt and some grew big and strong
      The birds ate some and so we sing this song:

      Some fell on:
      Solid ground, solid ground
      This is what the birdies found
      They ate it up, then flew around
      Solid, solid ground, solid solid ground
      It fell on solid ground, solid ground
      Solid, solid ground

      Some fell on:
      Rocky ground, rocky ground
      They had no roots, they were not bound
      The sun came out and burnt them down
      Rocky, rocky ground, rocky, rocky ground
      It fell on rocky ground, rocky ground
      Rocky, rocky ground

      Some fell on:
      Thorny ground, thorny ground
      With lots of bushes growing round
      The weeds came out and choked them down
      Thorny, thorny ground, thorny, thorny ground
      It fell on thorny ground, thorny ground
      thorny, thorny ground

      Some fell on:
      Soily ground, soily ground
      They grew and grew and spread around
      The leaves grew green, the crop was sound
      Soily, soily ground, soily, soily ground
      It fell on soily ground, soily ground
      Soily, soily ground
