This tree bears strange fruit Blood on the leaves, it's dead at the roots The cracked grey branches are decaying within Just like the black poison that hangs from it's limbs
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots Rip the deadness out, and plant something new I am alive, I will abide In the life giving blood of Christ
I tried to tie good fruit To a tree that had poison all the way through It rotted and fell off, it was dead at the core It even killed the ground, I was worse than before
I am alive, I will abide In the life giving blood of Christ I'm grafted in, You've killed my sin Now I can live, I'll live in him
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots Rip the deadness out..
