“The Wheat and the Tare” by MA Shalom is a spiritually charged, reflective track exploring themes of divine judgment, discernment, and the ultimate separation of truth from deception. Drawing inspiration from biblical parables, the song uses the metaphor of wheat and tares to examine the choices and paths of the human heart, questioning whether one aligns with righteousness or is bound by falsehood.
The hook—“The wheat and the tare, the separating is of the Father. Are you wheat or tare, are you bound to the fire?”—serves as a contemplative call to self-examination, highlighting that ultimate judgment belongs to the Divine. The verses detail the growth of deception, the consequences of pride, and the unveiling of truth at the appointed time. The bridge emphasizes humility, surrender, and the collapse of false power structures, reinforcing the message that only those aligned with divine principles will endure.
With a tone that is both prophetic and instructive, the song blends narrative storytelling with spiritual insight, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own choices, purity of heart, and alignment with higher truth.
