Charity Gayle - Seed Of Faith Lyrics
Lyrics
I'm reaching Barely breathing Do you see me here below? I believe You Help me see You I need to know that You're near me, Lord
Fear not I am the Lord your God And trust That I'm working all things out So in the field of doubt Plant a seed of faith I'll send the rain I'll send the rain
You're working And I'm growing In the trial And through the storms In the waiting Teach me patience Remind my heart that I'm not alone
And you said
Fear not I am the Lord your God And trust That I'm working all things out So in the field of doubt Plant a seed of faith I'll send the rain I'll send the rain
Let it rain Let it rain Things start to change Bring the rain Bring the rain It won't stay the same From glory to glory You're writing my story When it rains When it rains Let it rain
Let it rain Let it rain Things start to change Bring the rain Bring the rain It won't stay the same From glory to glory You're writing my story When it rains When it rains Let it rain
Fear not I am the Lord your God And trust That I'm working all things out So in the field of doubt Plant a seed of faith Plant a seed of faith I'll send the rain
Let it rain Let it rain Things start to change Bring the rain Bring the rain It won't stay the same From glory to glory You're writing my story When it rains When it rains Let it rain
Let it rain Let it rain Things start to change Bring the rain Bring the rain It won't stay the same From glory to glory You're writing my story When it rains When it rains Let it rain
When it rains When it rains Let it rain
When it rains When it rains Let it rain
I'll send the rain

Meaning & Inspiration
Charity Gayle's powerful single, "Seed of Faith," released on November 17, 2023, as part of a single featuring Ryan Kennedy, delves into the profound human experience of wrestling with doubt and finding unwavering hope in the divine. The song immediately confronts us with a raw vulnerability, as the opening lines express a feeling of being lost and barely holding on, a sentiment echoed in passages like Psalm 13:1, "How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?" Gayle captures that desperate cry for assurance, the yearning to perceive God's presence even when it feels distant. The core of the song's message is a divine reassurance, a direct callback to God's own words throughout Scripture, particularly Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." This promise of God's unwavering presence and active involvement in our lives is the bedrock upon which the song is built.
The metaphor of planting a "seed of faith in the field of doubt" is central and deeply resonant, drawing parallels to Jesus' parable of the sower in Matthew 13:18-23. Just as the seed needs fertile ground to grow, our faith requires a willingness to plant it even amidst the parched soil of our uncertainties. The "rain" that God promises to send is a beautiful symbol of His grace, His provision, and His transformative power that nurtures this seed. This imagery directly connects to the concept of God's blessings being poured out upon those who trust Him, as described in Malachi 3:10: "'Test me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.'" The song acknowledges that growth is not always comfortable; it happens "in the trial and through the storms," and "in the waiting." This process of spiritual maturation is intrinsically linked to developing patience and an awareness that we are never truly alone, a truth proclaimed in Hebrews 13:5: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The recurring refrain, "Let it rain, let it rain," transforms from a plea into a declaration of surrender and anticipation. It signifies an acceptance of God's will, a readiness for whatever He chooses to pour into our lives, understanding that His purpose is always to move us "from glory to glory," actively writing our story. This journey of transformation, where challenges become catalysts for greater spiritual depth, is the essence of the renewed life we find in Christ, as Paul beautifully articulates in 2 Corinthians 3:18: "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." "Seed of Faith" is more than a song; it's an anthem for the weary soul, a gentle yet potent reminder that even in our most fragile moments, the act of planting a seed of faith invites the boundless grace and unfailing power of God to bring about miraculous change.
