This poem was written in 1981 from the bulletin, “God’s
Chosen Vessel.” This poem was about the
bird and the mustard seed. I thought you
would enjoy this special morning poem.
Poem:
The Bird and The Mustard Seed (Matt. 13:31-32)
“What a beautiful
day! Chirp! Chirp! A wonderful day!” The bird was happily
singing on a big mustard bush. Suddenly
the bird stopped singing and turned his head trying to find the sad, crying
voice. “Boo hoo! Boo hoo! Sobbed the
mustard seed. The bird ask …
O, Mustard Seed! O,
Mustard Seed!
Why are you
crying so?
O, Mustard Seed! O,
Mustard Seed!
What is it, you
need to know?
Oh, Boo hoo! Oh, Boo hoo!
Why am I so
small?
Oh, Boo hoo! Oh, Boo
hoo!
Will I ever grow
tall?
O, Mustard Seed! O
Mustard Seed!
Didn’t Jesus say
about thee?
Oh, Boo hoo! Oh, Boo
hoo!
What did Jesus say
about Me?
O, Mustard Seed! O,
Mustard Seed!
Though you are
the tiniest.
O, Mustard Seed! O,
Mustard Seed!
Actually, you are
the biggest.
Oh, my goodness! Oh,
my goodness!
Yet I have my
great doubt.
I don’t believe! I
don’t believe!
You can’t turn me
about.
O, Mustard Seed! O,
Mustard Seed!
Jesus wants you
to believe.
O, Mustard Seed! O,
Mustard Seed!
Take His Word and receive.
Oh, pity me! Oh, pity
me!
I feel like a
brat!
Oh, well, well! Oh
well, well!
Me, the biggest!
How’s that?
Now, Mustard Seed!
Now, Mustard Seed!
Though your faith
be so small.
Jesus wants you to really believe
That you already
are very tall.
Then Mustard Seed went into the dirt,
Deciding to allow
himself to grow.
He buried himself into the ground and said,
“Here am I, the
seed I sow.”
Oh, my! Oh, my! I am truly growing!
Jesus was right; I’m
the biggest!
Who would ever believe
That I was the most tiniest?
The Bird says to you:
“Let this seed be an example,
Dear Friend, don’t
be a doubter.
Stop pitying yourself and learn that
Jesus wants you
as a great believer.”
