Cast Your Bread Upon the Water

Well I picked up the good Book,

Took me a long look,

And I believed in each and every part;

But I sure rejoiced in knowing

About the reaping and the sowing,

I really took that lesson to my heart.

So I cast my bread upon the water

By helping a brother,

Struggling on life's stormy sea;

Don't you know I'm sowing a good seed,

By doing a good deed,

It's gonna come back, come back to me.

Well, I can't buy my way to heaven,

There's a heaven waiting,

Purchased by our good and loving Lord;

So I'll go on striving, trusting and surviving,

Holding on expecting my reward.
