Sustaining CGS in a Parish Setting
And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit.
It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.
“Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”
Mark 4:3-8

Il Signore ha messe un seme.
Words and music by Claudio Chieffo May 1964
(A beloved song of Gianna’s)
Il Signore ha messo un seme nella terra del mio giardino,
il Signore ha messo un seme nel profondo del mio.
Mattinothe lo appena me ne sono accorto sono
sceso dal mio balcone volevo guardarci dentro e volevo vedere il seme.
Ma il Signore ha messo il seme nella terra del mio giardino,
il Signore ha messo il seme all’inizio del mio cammino.
Io vorrei che fiorisse il seme, io vorrei che nascesse il fiore,
ma il tempo del germoglio lo conosce il mio Signore.
Il Signore ha messo un seme nella terra del mio giardino,
il Signore ha messo un seme nel profondo del mio mattinothe
English
The Lord has planted a seed in the soil of my garden.
The Lord has planted a seed in the depths of my morning.
As soon as I got up, I went down from my balcony.
I wanted to look inside; I wanted to look at the seed.
But the Lord has planted a seed in the soil of my garden.
The Lord has planted a seed at the beginning of my pathway.
I want the seed to blossom; I want a flower to be born,
But the time of its germination, only the Lord knows.
