Swayseeker. "The weeds and wheat" version 2. You might want to try this version first as each word matches one note in the very beginning

There is a short crude voice clip for version 2 starting at about line 7 just to show how the words and music fit together. The full instrumental mp3
can be downloaded at http://www.ilike.com/artist/Swayseeker/

The above is a second version (similar, but with a different beginning). The WORDS ARE THE SAME FOR BOTH VERSIONS. The words are a way below.

As I have been playing drums at the parents and childrens service at St Johns Methodist in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, I have seen how they learn new songs - sometimes very quickly. Anyhow I decided to compose a song with quite a lot of repetition so that is easy to learn. In the words I brought up the concept of hating what is bad and hating a person and where separation of th two comes in. My intention is to compose songs that introduce topics for discussion for Sunday school. If anyone wants to use this song for the children at a church they are welcome to. The song is called "The weeds and wheat" and the tune may be downloaded from http://www.ilike.com/artist/Swayseeker/
I am hoping to compose more songs, perhaps in collaboration with the music worship team that I play with.I call myself Swayseeker.
A reference related to the song is Matthew 13:24 and of course there will be references for chaff, and so on that Sunday school teachers might use.
In the Chorus I say that "Not all our thoughts are entirely bad" although Romans 7:18 says: "I know nothing good lives in me.." and this could give rise to discussion of the good, the sanctified, the tainted in us and so on.

WORDS:

The weeds and wheat (Composed by Swayseeker)
Those who are well
Do not need to be healed
Those gone astray
Can now find a new way
Jesus did welcome
Those so many sinners
Pulled some away
Stopped them going astray
　
CHORUS
Not all our thoughts
Are entirely bad
Act as we should
Try to do good
Can good and bad
Be so far apart
Is it that neat
The chaff and the wheat?
　
Not to do harm
But instead He would heal
Ways to stop hate
He began to reveal
Hate what is bad
And hold fast to the good
Discern and do seek
As good people should

CHORUS
Not all our thoughts
Are entirely bad
Act as we should
Try to do good
Can good and bad
Be so far apart
Is it that neat
The chaff and the wheat?

Good seed was sown
Like the kingdom of heaven
Bad one soon came
and then sowed he the weed
Wait for the time
For the harvest to come
Wheat to the barn
Of the weeds ther'll be none
　
CHORUS
Not all our thoughts
Are entirely bad
Act as we should
Try to do good
Can good and bad
Be so far apart
Is it that neat
The chaff and the wheat?
