G
I cast my bread upon the water, by helping my brother
                            D
Struggling on life’s stormy seas
        G
I’ll be sowing a good seed, by doing a good deed
                   D            G
That’ll come back, come back to me

{Verse 1}
G
Well I picked up the good book, and took me a long look
             D              G
I believe in each and every part

But I sure rejoice in knowing, about the reaping and the sowing
                   D            G
I really took that lesson to my heart

{Chorus}
  G
I cast my bread upon the water, by helping my brother
                            D
Struggling on life’s stormy seas
        G
I’ll be sowing a good seed, by doing a good deed
                   D            G
That’ll come back, come back to me

{Solo}

G                   D         G        D         G

{Verse 2}
G
Well I can’t buy my way to heaven, but there’s a heaven awaiting
                 D               G
Purchased by our good and loving Lord

And I’ll go on a striving, trusting and surviving
               D            G
I’m Holding on expecting my reward


{Chorus}
  G
I cast my bread upon the water, by helping my brother
                            D
Struggling on life’s stormy seas
        G
I’ll be sowing a good seed, by doing a good deed
                   D            G
That’ll come back, come back to me
