A mustard seed in a man's hand
Is buried straight into the land
Just from that tiny mustard seed
It grows and grows and becomes a tree
That's what Jesus said to help us understand

 

When it is planted it is the smallest
But when it grows it becomes the tallest.
And from that tiny mustard seed
It grows and grows and becomes a tree
That's what Jesus said to help us understand

 

That the Kingdom of Heaven is just like this
To spread our love is God's wish
And just like this we become the tallest tree
Even though we may be the smallest seed
Even though we may be the smallest seed

 

And to the branches all the birds will come
They'll sing and build their nests for their young ones
Just like that tiny mustard seed
That grows and grows and becomes a tree
Our love can grow and carry everyone

 

And the Kingdom of Heaven is just like this
To spread our love is God's wish
And just like this we can become the tallest tree
Even though we may be the smallest seed
Even though we may be the smallest seed
