The Farmer The Baker and The Candlestick Maker
The Farmer the Baker and the Candlestick Maker
Were meeting for afternoon tea
When up spoke the Farmer and said to the Baker
Do you know what just happened to me
The yield that was growing from the seed I was sowing
Brought forth an amazing surprise
When there right before me some weeds that I could see
Had been sown while I rested my eyes
Said the Baker with question to the Candlestick Maker
Do you suppose who might have been
The great source of this mischief a dark hearted culprit
To purvey such a cruel ugly sin Then the Candlestick Maker told the Farmer and Baker
Through the Light of His trade He could see
That the devil's dark minions with the worst of intentions
Had performed this great atrocity
So the Farmer the Baker and the Candlestick Maker
Discussed how to handle this case
To eradicate evil from the hearts of these people
Without losing their sight on God's grace
When the Baker said maybe if the grain that we do see
Could resist til the harvest to come
The great influence of evil from the weedy like people
Then by grace You might harvest the sum
Of the wheat to the Baker to be bread for the Maker
As the weeds become light to the world
Of what happens to people who give way to the evil
When into that oven they're hurled
When all will be finished and the earth be replenished
With the good that will never be marred
As no more will the devil have the power once leveled
On the Baker he once cruelly scarred
For the Farmer the Baker and the Candlestick Maker
Will have finished that great work They'd begun
When the harvest is ended bread baking suspended
And the candlelight shines on God's Son
Matthew 13:24-30
