[Intro] A seed in a heart, small as a breath Carried by a witness who was fearless to death [Verse 1] Young man with a burning word, grace in his stride Power in his prayer, truth he could not hide He told every traveler, every friend, every foe About the risen King and the mercy they could know They warned him, "Be quiet, keep your head down low" But the love in his chest would not let him go He saw a world in chains, so he opened his mouth And pointed tired souls to the road leading south No throne, no shield, no promise of ease Just faith like a flame and conviction on his knees He knew the cost, still he stood in the square With Jesus on his lips and compassion in his prayer [Pre-Chorus] And Paul saw the fire, though he fought what it meant A seed found soil in the heart of an opponent What looked like an ending became heaven-sent One faithful voice changed the direction of history [Chorus] Plant it deep, let the good news rise One brave heart can wake a thousand lives He gave his breath so the truth could run free And that seed became a mission in me Plant it deep, let the whole world know Love is stronger than the hands that throw From a young man's faith to a vision set free That seed became a mission in me [Verse 2] He was not chasing fame, he was chasing the lost Counting every neighbor worth the Savior's cost When the road grew hard, he did not turn away He carried holy courage into one more day Paul remembered the face, the words, the light A witness who stayed faithful in the middle of the fight And somewhere in the silence, grace broke through The one who watched him fall was changed by what he knew Now the persecutor's running with a message in his hand Crossing dusty borders, calling every heart to stand The seed became a tree with branches wide and strong A testimony traveling farther than the wrong [Bridge] What you plant in love can outlive your name What you speak in truth can set a soul aflame No faithful step is ever truly unseen God can turn a dying day into a living stream [Chorus] Plant it deep, let the good news rise One brave heart can wake a thousand lives He gave his breath so the truth could run free And that seed became a mission in me Plant it deep, let the whole world know Love is stronger than the hands that throw From a young man's faith to a vision set free That seed became a mission in me [Outro] A seed in a heart, carried through the years Faith through the danger, grace through the tears If one voice can stand when the whole world disagrees Then one small seed can grow through me
