Sowing and Reaping

Brief time of gladness
Brings fresh hope
It isn't all sadness
I really can cope

And I'm right, i know
Life brings good as well as bad
We reap what we sow
It's why mine is sometimes sad

Because I sowed to the whirlwind
I sowed stubbornness and pride
So why am I surprised to find
I can't from the reaping hide?

I've sown darkness and sin,
Should I reap blessing?
Will God see what's truly within,
As now to him I'm confessing?

I know he loves me
I know he will forgive
I know what he sees
In the life I try to live

He sees not failure but success
Not the past but what's to come
He sees only the best
Because he sees only his own Son
