I cast my bread upon the water
By helping my brother
Struggling on life's stormy seas
I'll be sowing a good seed
By doing a good deed
That'll come back
Come back to me
Well I picked up the good book
And took me a long look
I believe in each and every part
But I sure rejoice in knowing
About the reaping and the sowing
I really took that lesson to my heart
I cast my bread upon the water
By helping my brother
Struggling on life's stormy seas
I'll be sowing a good seed
By doing a good deed
That'll come back
Come back to me
Well I can't buy my way to heaven
But there's a heaven awaiting
Purchased by our good and loving Lord
And I'll go on a striving
Trusting and surviving
Holding on expecting my reward
So I cast my bread upon the water
By helping my brother
Struggling on life's stormy seas
I'll be sowing a good seed
By doing a good deed
That'll come back
Come back to me
So I cast my bread upon the water (on the water)
By helping my brother (my brother)
Struggling on life's stormy seas
And I'll be sowing a good seed
By doing a good deed
That'll come back
Come back to me
