about

The title track of the album is a folk ballad arrangement of Hosea 10:12. "Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit[a] of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain salvation upon you."

Leaving a field fallow for a year or more is an ancient farming practice that allows a field to remain unplanted in order for the soil to recover some of its growing potential. We all need time to relax and rejuvenate, but when we remain in a state of rest too long, we stagnate and are unproductive. God calls us to break up the fallow ground in our lives and produce good fruit from the seeds that he plants within our hearts and minds.

lyrics

Chorus: Break up your fallow ground.
Plow up your barren fields.
Reap of the harvest of unfailing love.
Sowing for righteousness
Seeking the master, that he may bring down
His rain from above.

1. Much of our lives is wasted and barren,
Empty of all that the Lord has to give.
Where is the seed that we should be planting?
Where is the harvest He wants us to live?

2. Honour the Lord with all of your being.
Offer the bounty of all that you are.
Then will your hearts be filled with his plenty.
Bursting with life, and the joy of new wine.
