[Verse 1]
You spoke of a farmer
Scattering seed
Rock and road and bramble
And a good heart field
A lamp on a stand
Not under a bowl
Tiny grain of mustard
Growing tall and bold
[Chorus]
Every story
Every secret
Every treasure that You told
From the lost ones to the vineyards
All the mercy You unfold
You are the Teacher
You are the Way
All of Your parables
Point us to grace today
[Verse 2]
A net in the deep
Catching every kind
Yeast in the dough
Working through our lives
Pearl in the market
Treasure in the ground
Joy that sells it all just to have You now
[Chorus]
Every story
Every secret
Every treasure that You told
From the lost ones to the vineyards
All the mercy You unfold
You are the Teacher
You are the Way
All of Your parables
Point us to grace today
[Verse 3]
Two men building houses
One on shifting sand
One upon the rock
Standing by Your hand
Servant owing millions
Begging for release
Given undeserved kindness
Called to share that peace
[Verse 4]
A traveler left bleeding on the side of the road
Stranger stops and lifts him
Carries all his load
Rich man at his table
Lazarus at the gate
Heaven hears the begging that the proud one hates
[Chorus]
Every story
Every secret
Every treasure that You told
From the lost ones to the vineyards
All the mercy You unfold
You are the Teacher
You are the Way
All of Your parables
Point us to grace today
[Verse 5]
A vineyard full of workers
Hired late and first
Same wage in the evening
Same quenching of thirst
Two sons in the doorway
“Yes” and “No” replies
Only one obeying shows the truth
Not lies
[Verse 6]
Ten young ones with lanterns
Waiting through the night
Some kept oil ready
Some lost all their light
Talents in our hands now
Buried or increased
What we do with Your goodness shows we trust the King
[Bridge]
Lost sheep on the hillside (You go and find)
Lost coin in the corner (You light, You shine)
Runaway child in a far-off land
You run with open arms
Ring and robe in hand (oh)
Rich fool building barns up to the sky
Far judge in the courtroom
Hearing widow’s cry
Friend at midnight knocking till the door is swung
You teach us how to ask
Teach us how to trust
[Chorus]
Every story
Every secret
Every treasure that You told
From the lost ones to the vineyards
All the mercy You unfold
You are the Teacher
You are the Way
All of Your parables
Point us to grace today
[Verse 7]
Workers in the harvest
Praying for the field
Leaven in the kingdom
Hidden yet revealed
Good Samaritan kindness
Seed in honest ground
Fig tree given one more year to turn around
[Outro]
All of Your stories
Gathered as one
Jesus our Rabbi
God’s perfect Son
All of Your parables
Lead our hearts home
All of Your parables
Lift up Your throne
