I Am A Seed
<--Oh My God
Analysis
Analysis by Will L The Offertory ends with this request: Let them, O Lord, pass over from death to life, as you once promised to Abraham and his seed. With that in mind, a new meaning to this song is revealed. Not only will I grow up into a tree, but under the new covenant of Christ, I am considered part of the aforementioned seed of Abraham, and will reap the same benefits that were promised to that seed. |
