O Semeador e o Ceifeiro
Eliã Oliveira
The Sower and the Reaper
I sowed the seed, yes in the spring
I watered it with tears, weeping and pain
But another may reap the fruits
Bringing joy to the Lord
Time after time, my soul feels
Anguish and the tears of the sower
But those who sow as well as those who reap
Will be rewarded by the hands of the Lord
The reaper gathers the fruits with joy
Not always knowing the pain it cost
For those who worked so hard, in sun or rain
And with patience planted the seed
Time after time, my soul feels
Anguish and tears of the sower
But those who sow as well as those who reap
Will be rewarded by the hands of the Lord
Time after time, my soul feels
Anguish and tears of the sower
But those who sow as well as those who reap
Will be rewarded by the hands of the Lord
