GOD’S NEW PLANTATION
YOU NOW HAVE FOUND WHAT GOD HAD GAVE
TO BOTH THE RICH AND TO THE SLAVE.
YOU WILL AGAIN LEARN HOW TO TOIL
REAPING REWARDS FROM YOUR OWN SOIL.
A LEARNING PROCESS HAS BEGUN
WITH ACHES AND PAINS TO OVERCOME.
AGAIN SOME PATIENCE YOU MUST SHOW
AS YOU AWAIT THE SEED TO GROW.
WE’RE PLEASED AS WE WATCH YOU PREPARE
THIS PATCH OF GROUND WITH SUCH GREAT CARE.
THE BEANS THAT WILL GROW INTO PODS
ARE FROM YOUR LABOR; THE REST IS GOD’S.
THANK GOD AS YOU BEGIN AND END
EACH TASK THAT GOD TO YOU WILL SEND.
THANK GOD FOR ALL THAT HE DID SOW;
YOU TOO ARE SEEDS THAT HE DID GROW.
GOD SHED HIS BLOOD AND HAD TO DIE
FOR ALL THE SEEDS THAT WENT AWRY.
NOW HE WILL HARVEST AND RENEW
HIS CHOSEN CROP AMONG THE FEW.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
