Verse 1

Here’s a story
'Bout a man I know
He set out
With seed to sow
Some seed fell
On the path that day
The birds swooped down
And took it away

Verse 2

Some seed fell
On the rocks and stones
Shot up quick
But found no home
Other seeds fell
On the thorny ground
The weeds came up
And choked them out

Chorus

Listen up
God gave us ears
To hear His Word
Listen up
Then think about
Everything we’ve heard
Listen up
Our hearts are soil
Where the Word can grow
Holy Spirit help us know
How to listen up

Verse 3

Some seed fell
Where the soil was good
The roots grew deep
Just like they should
Water and Sun made
The plants grow high
The fruit was good
And multiplied

Chorus

Listen up
God gave us ears
To hear His Word
Listen up
Then think about
Everything we’ve heard
Listen up
Our hearts are soil
Where the Word can grow
Holy Spirit help us know
How to listen up

Bridge

If we want to grow
Then we need to know
The gospel
The gospel
Jesus died and rose
To forgive all those
Who believe in Him

Chorus

Listen up
God gave us ears
To hear His Word
Listen up
Then think about
Everything we’ve heard
Listen up
Our hearts are soil
Where the Word can grow
Holy Spirit help us know
How to listen up
