UNLESS A GRAIN OF WHEAT

Unless a grain of wheat fall

in the ground and die,

It remains alone. But if it dies,

Then it yields a mighty harvest.

I have come to bring fire to the earth

And how I wish it were blazing already.

Those who worship must worship in spirit

And in truth when they worship the Father.

God's goodness is proclaimed to the poor

And happy those whose faith does not falter.

Don't just say to me: Lord, Lord,

But see you do the will of my Father.

You can forecast the seasons and weather,

Can't you read the signs of your own times?

For our God is the God of the living

And his glory is man fully living.
