I Cast My Bread Upon The Water Lyrics
Chorus
I’m casting my bread upon waters
By helping my brother
Struggling on life’s stormy seas
I’ll be sowing a good seed
By doing a good deed
That’ll come back
Come back to me
Verse 1
Well I picked up the good book
And took me a long look
I believe in each and every part
But I sure rejoice in knowing
About the reaping and the sowing
I really took that lesson to my heart
Chorus
I cast my bread upon the water
By helping my brother
Struggling on life’s stormy seas
I’ll be sowing a good seed
By doing a good deed
That’ll come back
Come back to me
Verse 2
Well I can’t buy my way to heaven
But there’s a heaven awaiting
Purchased by our good and loving Lord
And I’ll go on a striving
Trusting and surviving
Holding on expecting my reward
Notes
The hymn I Cast My Bread Upon the Water is a song about faith, kindness, and trusting in God’s promises. For a Christian, it emphasizes the biblical principle of sowing and reaping (Galatians 6:7) and encourages believers to do good for others, knowing that God will bless their efforts in return.
The chorus draws from Ecclesiastes 11:1, which says, “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.” This verse teaches that acts of kindness, generosity, and faithfulness will eventually yield blessings, even if they are not immediately visible.
The first verse highlights the importance of trusting God’s Word and embracing the principle of giving. The second verse clarifies that salvation cannot be earned by works, but believers should still strive to live a life of kindness and trust in God.
Ultimately, this hymn reminds Christians that selfless giving and faith will lead to divine rewards and eternal blessings.
