47. You Will Reap What You Sow

1 Brother, what of the seed you are sowing,
As along the way you go?
You should choose them with carefulness, knowing,
You shall reap just what you sow.

Chorus:
You shall reap what you sow,
You shall reap just what you sow;
Oh, "be not deceived, for God is not mocked,"
You shall reap just what you sow.

2 Do you sow to the flesh or the spirit,
As you tread this vale below?
Do you hope endless joys to inherit?
You shall reap just what you sow. [Chorus]

3 Thot's and words for a harvest you're sowing,
Into deeds they'll surely grow;
Either blessings or curses bestowing,
You shall reap just what you sow. [Chorus]

4 Is your sowing for glory and honor?
Will it be for weal or woe?
By and by when your harvest you garner,
You shall reap just what you sow. [Chorus]
